NBC Sports Bay Area & California • • sports
Key Points:
- San Francisco 49ers linebacker Dre Greenlaw will miss the Week 6 Monday night game against the Washington Commanders due to a one-game suspension upheld by the NFL after his appeal was denied.
- Greenlaw was suspended for "unsportsmanlike conduct" following a late hit and headbutt incident involving Seattle Seahawks players during the 49ers' 32-29 win over Seattle.
- The suspension was upheld by hearing officer James Thrash, who cited a violation of NFL rules regarding sportsmanship, and Greenlaw was ejected from the Seahawks game.
- Greenlaw, the 49ers' second-leading tackler this season with 37 total tackles and one forced fumble, will be eligible to return to the active roster after the Week 6 game.
- The suspension leaves the 49ers without a key defensive player for their Monday night matchup, potentially impacting their defensive performance against Washington.
