Dre Greenlaw suspended for one game

The NFL announced on Monday that Greenlaw has been suspended after he headbutted Ernest Jones during Sunday's game.

The NFL has suspended 49ers linebacker Dre Greenlaw for one game following his actions during Sunday’s game against the Seahawks. Greenlaw was ejected from the game after headbutting Seattle linebacker Ernest Jones with his helmet, an act deemed unsportsmanlike by the NFL. This violation of Rule 12, Section 3, Article 1, resulted in his suspension.

Greenlaw can appeal the decision but will be eligible to return to the 49ers’ active roster on Tuesday, Oct. 20, as the team faces the Commanders in Week 6. This is not the first time Greenlaw has faced a one-game suspension this year; he was previously penalized for unsportsmanlike conduct in 2025. If he chooses to appeal, his suspension will be reviewed and decided by a panel consisting of NFL and NFLPA hearing officers, including Derrick Brooks, Jordy Nelson, Ron Rivera, and James Thrash.
