Dre Greenlaw Faces Potential Suspension After Ejection

The San Francisco 49ers, currently undefeated at 5-0, played without linebacker Dre Greenlaw for over two quarters due to his ejection during a game against the Seattle Seahawks. As they prepare for their upcoming match against the Washington Commanders, there is a possibility that Greenlaw could miss the entire game.

Greenlaw was ejected for head-butting Seahawks linebacker Ernest Jones IV, who was not wearing a helmet at the time. The NFL plans to review this incident for potential disciplinary action, which could include a suspension that would prevent Greenlaw from participating in Week 6.

This incident adds to Greenlaw's history of ejections, marking the third time he has been sent off the field. He faced previous ejections in 2022 and 2023 for illegal hits and sideline incidents. Additionally, he was suspended for one game last year due to post-game interactions with a referee. If a suspension is deemed necessary, it is expected to be announced on Monday, followed by an expedited appeal process.
