Greenlaw Suspended After Head Butt Incident
Tap title to read story
The San Francisco 49ers will miss linebacker Dre Greenlaw for Monday’s game against Washington. The NFL announced that hearing officer James Thrash, a former receiver, upheld the one‑game suspension imposed on Greenlaw.
During the second quarter of Sunday’s matchup with the Seattle Seahawks, Greenlaw delivered a head‑butt to Seahawks linebacker Ernest Jones IV while wearing a helmet; Jones was not. Greenlaw was ejected, marking his third ejection since 2022.
He will forfeit one hundred thirty‑six thousand three hundred eighty‑eight dollars in base salary and lose a twenty‑three thousand five hundred twenty‑nine dollar roster bonus. The 49ers may seek partial repayment of his two‑point‑five‑million‑dollar signing bonus. The missed reps also hinder Greenlaw’s chance to earn a seven‑five‑thousand‑dollar incentive tied to playing time, which would double if the team reaches the playoffs.
