Seattle's NFL showdown concluded with a final verdict on defense lieutenant Dre Greenlaw's one-game suspension, following a headbutt during the team's win over the Seahawks on October 11. The NFL confirmed that hearing officer James Thrash upheld the punishment, meaning Greenlaw will miss San Francisco's Week 6 game against the Commanders.
He is eligible to return to the 49ers' roster on October 20. Greenlaw's hit on Seattle quarterback Sam Darnold during the second quarter prompted the incident, which led to the headbutt on Jones IV. Greenlaw's suspension is his second of the season, following a similar penalty from 2025. His recent disciplinary history adds to Seattle's concerns as they try to maintain their NFC West lead.
Seattle now faces the Denver Broncos and Kansas City Chiefs in the coming weeks, with little time to focus on the loss or the incident.
