#49ers LB Dre Greenlaw’s appeal is denied. He’s suspended for Monday vs. the #Commanders. Via @MikeGarafolo on X

What happened: Hearing officer James Thrash, jointly appointed by the NFL and NFLPA, denied the appeal and upheld the one-game suspension. The decision removes Greenlaw from San Francisco's linebacker group for Monday night against Washington. The ban follows the Seahawks altercation in Sunday's 32-29 win.

Why it matters: San Francisco loses a starting linebacker for a prime-time matchup with Washington. Greenlaw paired with Keion White on a fourth-down goal-line stand last month, leaving that rotation to reshuffle. Monday tests San Francisco's depth at the second level.

By the numbers: Greenlaw recorded 43 tackles, 1 sack and 1 interception across 8 games in 2025. San Francisco drafted him 148th overall in the fifth round of the 2019 NFL Draft out of Arkansas. San Francisco enters Monday after a 32-29 win over Seattle.

What to watch: Greenlaw regains eligibility after Monday night. San Francisco resets its linebacker rotation following the Washington game.
