The 49ers lead the Seahawks 14-10, but they will have to play the rest of the game without linebacker Dre Greenlaw.
Greenlaw was ejected with 6:04 remaining when he headbutted a helmetless Seahawks linebacker Ernest Jones IV on the sideline.
Greenlaw forced Sam Darnold out of bounds after a 5-yard scramble, putting him in the middle of the Seahawks sideline. Jones said something to Greenlaw, who headbutted Jones.
The 15-yard penalty moved the Seahawks to the San Francisco 32.
Greenlaw was ejected during a Dec. 3, 2023, game against the Eagles when he scuffled with Eagles chief security officer Dom DiSandro. The NFL suspended him for one game last season when he played for the Broncos for unsportsmanlike conduct after he chased after referee Brad Allen “and verbally threatened him.”
Last week, the NFL fined Greenlaw $11,941 for taunting the Broncos’ sideline.
Thus, Greenlaw could be facing another suspension.
