The 49ers linebacker was handed a one-game ban without pay after headbutting Seahawks linebacker Ernest Jones IV during Sunday's game, an incident that got him ejected on the spot.\n\nGreenlaw appealed the suspension, hoping to avoid missing Monday night's matchup against the Commanders. That appeal failed, and the ruling has now been upheld.\n\nWith the suspension confirmed, Greenlaw is not eligible to play in San Francisco's Week 6 contest. The 49ers will have to navigate their linebacker corps without him for at least this one game against Washington.","published_at":"2026-10-14T04:49:16.110960+00:00","source_count":5,"written_from":[{"outlet":"The Athletic","publisher":"The Athletic","title":"49ers linebacker Dre Greenlaw's 1-game suspension upheld on appeal","url":"https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7684864/2026/10/13/dre-greenlaw-suspension-upheld-49ers/"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"49ers Greenlaw suspended one game without pay for helmetless headbutt","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/49ers-greenlaw-suspended-one-game-160209110.html"},{"outlet":"Pro Football Talk","publisher":"NBC Sports","title":"Report: Dre Greenlaw will appeal his one-game suspension","url":"https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/report-dre-greenlaw-will-appeal-his-one-game-suspension"}],"more_coverage":[{"outlet":"Pro Football Talk","publisher":"NBC Sports","title":"Dre Greenlaw suspended for one game","url":"https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/dre-greenlaw-suspended-for-one-game"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Dre Greenlaw suspended for one game","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/dre-greenlaw-suspended-one-game-181242360.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Dre Greenlaw was suspended for violating the ‘principles of sportsmanship’","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/dre-greenlaw-suspended-violating-principles-182134372.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Report: Dre Greenlaw will appeal his one-game suspension","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/report-dre-greenlaw-appeal-one-185110217.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"49ers LB Dre Greenlaw's one-game suspension upheld after appeal","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/49ers-lb-dre-greenlaws-one-012104277.html"},{"outlet":"ESPN","publisher":"ESPN","title":"Niners LB Greenlaw's appeal rejected, will serve 1-game ban vs. Commanders","url":"https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/50178480/niners-lb-dre-greenlaw-appeal-1-game-suspension-rejected"},{"outlet":"New York Post","publisher":"New York Post","title":"49ers Dre Greenlaw’s suspension appeal gets crushed after headbutt to helmetless player","url":"https://nypost.com/2026/10/13/sports/dre-greenlaw-denied-his-suspension-appeal-by-the-nfl/"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"49ers linebacker Dre Greenlaw loses appeal of a 1-game suspension for headbutt","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/49ers-linebacker-dre-greenlaw-loses-021005013.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"49ers Dre Greenlaw’s suspension appeal gets crushed after headbutt to helmetless player","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/49ers-dre-greenlaw-suspension-appeal-022831658.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"49ers’ Dre Greenlaw Learns Final Suspension Decision From NFL","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/49ers-dre-greenlaw-learns-final-045429287.html"}],"image":{"url":"https://nbcsports.brightspotcdn.com/dims4/default/3a84366/2147483647/strip/false/crop/1920x1080+0+0/resize/1920x1080!/quality/90/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fhdliveextra-a.akamaihd.net%2FHD%2Fimage_sports%2FNBCU_Sports_Group_-_nbcsports%2F181%2F103%2Fnbc_pft_dreheadbutt_261012.jpg","credit":"Pro Football Talk","width":1920},"embed":null,"license":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/","attribution":"Analysis data is licensed CC BY 4.0.
