Discipline from NFL expected 'soon' for 49ers owner after arrest

San Francisco 49ers owner Jed York is facing potential NFL discipline following his arrest in Ohio in late August, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. The league is expected to take action against York soon, though the nature of the punishment remains unclear at this time. York was reportedly in Melbourne, Australia during the 49ers' season opener, and he did not attend the team's 27-7 victory at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.

There are no plans for him to be present at the 49ers' home opener against the Miami Dolphins at Levi's Stadium either. The arrest stemmed from York's suspected involvement in prostitution, for which he pleaded no contest to misdemeanor charges of disorderly conduct and possessing criminal tools. York's goal is to avoid creating a distraction, according to the reports.
