NFL suspends 49ers linebacker Dre Greenlaw 1 game for headbutt

SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — San Francisco 49ers linebacker Dre Greenlaw was suspended for one game after head-butting Seattle’s Ernest Jones IV following a late hit on the Seahawks sideline.The NFL issued the suspension on Monday, saying the headbutt of a player without a helmet during Sunday's 32-29 win against Seattle was "contrary to the generally understood principles of sportsmanship.”Greenlaw will miss San Francisco's game next Monday night against Washington pending an appeal on Tuesday.“I was disappointed they decided to do that. But it is what it is,” coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday. “Hopefully the appeal process can go better tomorrow and we can get it rescinded. But I’ll wait to see how that goes.”Greenlaw has a history of infractions. He has been ejected two other times in his career. He had a sideline altercation with Philadelphia’s head of security Dom DiSandro in 2023 and was also disqualified for a helmet-to-helmet hit on the Chargers’ Justin Herbert in 2022.Greenlaw was
