49ers LB Dre Greenlaw suspended 1 game after Seahawks altercation
Greenlaw was ejected from the Week 5 game after headbutting Ernest Jones IV
In the second quarter of the Seattle Seahawks' 32-29 loss to the San Francisco 49ers, an altercation arose between the players on the sideline. Quarterback Sam Darnold was hit late out of bounds by Greenlaw, which irked the Seahawks. However, Greenlaw's actions went further when he headbutted Seattle linebacker Ernest Jones IV, as evident in the video footage. Greenlaw was immediately ejected from the game.
The NFL has confirmed that 49ers linebacker Dre Greenlaw will be suspended without pay for one additional game due to his unsportsmanlike conduct during the game. This means Greenlaw will miss the 49ers' Week 6 home game against the Washington Commanders on Monday Night Football. His removal from the defense will be felt, as he is considered one of the best players on the team.
Seattle's frustration is heightened by the team's inability to win during Greenlaw's absence, particularly on the final drive when the Seahawks' offense was thwarted on downs, failing to tie the game.
