What happened: The NFL suspended San Francisco 49ers owner Jed York for six games Friday following his arrest earlier this year in an Ohio prostitution sting. The league also fined York $500,000 for violating its personal conduct policy.

Why it matters: The ruling closes the league's discipline process and replaces an open-ended review with a fixed absence on the calendar. It also lands early in the season for a 49ers team that opened 3-0.

By the numbers: Three of the six games already have been credited toward the suspension, putting York on track to return Oct. 20. The financial penalty was set at $500,000.

What to watch: York becomes eligible to return Oct. 20 once the credited and remaining games in the suspension are completed.
