NFL statement from @NFLprguy on the arrest of 49ers owner Jed York: “We are aware of the matter which will be reviewed u Via @AdamSchefter on X

What happened: San Francisco 49ers owner Jed York was arrested Sunday in East Palestine, Ohio, and pleaded no contest Monday to misdemeanor counts of disorderly conduct and possessing criminal tools. Court records show prosecutors amended an initial engaging-in-prostitution charge to disorderly conduct.

Why it matters: The review puts a principal owner's off-field conduct before the NFL's disciplinary process. Any league action would carry consequences separate from the court disposition.

By the numbers: Court disposition: two misdemeanor counts, $1,150 in fines, $160 forfeited and credit for one day served on concurrent sentences.

What to watch: The NFL's findings and any resulting discipline are the next developments to watch.
