The San Francisco 49ers had high hopes for linebacker Dre Greenlaw to be ready for their Week 6 "Monday Night Football" game against the Washington Commanders. However, Greenlaw received a one-game suspension from the NFL after headbutting Seattle Seahawks linebacker Ernest Jones during Sunday's 32-29 victory.

Dre Greenlaw, who was San Francisco's second-most active linebacker with 37 tackles, is a significant loss for the team. The 49ers are already dealing with a high number of injuries, with eight players on injured reserve and three key contributors sidelined. With Garret Wallow also expected to miss multiple games due to a hamstring injury, the 49ers have very limited linebacker depth, consisting of only four players: Warner, Dugger, Gifford, and Okoronkwo.
