Dre Greenlaw could be facing another suspension

Key Points:
- San Francisco 49ers linebacker Dre Greenlaw was ejected for head-butting Seahawks linebacker Ernest Jones IV, who was not wearing a helmet, during a recent game.
- The NFL is reviewing the incident and may suspend Greenlaw, potentially causing him to miss the upcoming Week 6 game against the Washington Commanders.
- The play is considered inherently unsafe, especially since it involved striking an unhelmeted player with a helmet, a serious violation that could warrant strict discipline.
- Greenlaw has a history of disciplinary issues, including three ejections and a previous one-game suspension for unsportsmanlike conduct.
- The NFL’s decision on discipline is expected Monday, with an expedited appeal process likely to follow if a suspension is imposed.
