NFL suspends 49ers linebacker one game for sideline scuffle that included headbutt to Seahawks player

NFL linebacker Dre Greenlaw of the San Francisco 49ers has been suspended for one game following an incident during a 32-29 victory over the Seattle Seahawks. After delivering a late hit on Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold along the Seattle sideline, Greenlaw was confronted by Seahawks players and headbutted linebacker Ernest Jones IV, who was not wearing a helmet. The headbutt resulted in Jones bleeding and Greenlaw being ejected. The NFL cited a violation of sportsmanship rules for the suspension, which Greenlaw is eligible to appeal. If the suspension stands, he will miss the upcoming game against the Washington Commanders.
