SEATTLE (AP) \u2014 San Francisco 49ers linebacker Dre Greenlaw was ejected after head-butting Seattle\u2019s Ernest Jones IV after he delivered a late hit on the Seahawks sideline.<\/p>\n

The infraction came in the second quarter on Sunday when Sam Darnold scrambled and was hit late by Greenlaw after going out of bounds, leading to a personal foul.<\/p>\n

Several Seahawks defenders immediately confronted Greenlaw after the hit and Greenlaw responded by head-butting Jones, who wasn\u2019t wearing a helmet. Jones was bleeding after the hit and Greenlaw was ejected.<\/p>\n

Greenlaw has been ejected at least two other times in his career. He had a sideline altercation with Philadelphia\u2019s head of security Dom DiSandro in 2023 and was also disqualified for a helmet-to-helmet hit on Justin Herbert in 2022.<\/p>\n

Greenlaw was also suspended for one game last season when he played in Denver for berating an official after a win over the New York Giants and was fined $11,941 for taunting the Broncos\u2019 sideline in a win last week.<\/p>\n

Greenlaw returned to San Francisco this season after playing for the Broncos in 2025. He has 37 tackles in five games.<\/p>\n
