Dre Greenlaw ejected after hitting Sam Darnold and headbutting Ernest Jones on Seahawks bench
San Francisco 49ers linebacker Dre Greenlaw was thrown out of the game after a personal-foul hit on Sam Darnold and a subsequent head-butt against Ernest Jones on the Seattle sideline.
In the Sunday matchup between the San Francisco 49ers and the Seattle Seahawks, 49ers linebacker Dre Greenlaw struck quarterback Sam Darnold while Darnold was exiting the field of play, resulting in a personal-foul call. The altercation moved onto the Seahawks bench area, where Greenlaw approached linebacker Ernest Jones, who had previously defended Darnold, and delivered a head-butt that caused a cut on Jones. Cameras captured the incident, and Greenlaw was promptly ejected from the game.
NFL Operations will assess the play after the game, with possible fines, warnings, or a suspension depending on the review. Greenlaw’s history includes prior fines and suspensions for on-field and post-game conduct. The league’s disciplinary officers will decide whether the conduct warrants a penalty beyond the ejection.
