Broncos’ Dre Greenlaw to Serve Suspension for Unsportsmanlike Conduct
Denver Broncos linebacker Dre Greenlaw will have to serve his one-game suspension for unsportsmanlike conduct, the league announced Tuesday.
Greenlaw will miss the home game against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday.
The NFL reported on Monday that Greenlaw “chased referee Brad Allen and verbally threatened him while attempting to leave the field” after the Broncos’ victory against the New York Giants in Denver.The suspension will cost Greenlaw, who will also have to miss the Broncos’ practices this week, a game check for the amount of $192,778.
Sunday marked Greenlaw’s first game with Denver after signing a three-year, $31.5 million contract in March. He didn’t play in the preseason or the first six regular season games due to hamstring injuries.
Against the Giants, Greenlaw played 21 plays and finished with six tackles and a hit on the quarterback, as the Broncos overcame a 19-0 deficit in the fourth quarter to win 33-32 and improve to 5-2.
