Summary
The NFL suspended San Francisco 49ers owner Jed York for six games and fined him $500,000 for violating its personal conduct policy. The discipline follows York’s August arrest in Ohio and his Aug. 24 no-contest plea to two misdemeanor charges. York’s absences from the 49ers’ first three games count toward the suspension, and he is eligible to return Oct. 20, after San Francisco plays Washington on Oct. 19. York accepted the league’s decision and apologized to his family, the organization and its supporters.
Why it matters
The sanction removes the 49ers’ majority owner from team activities through the Oct. 19 game against Washington and carries a $500,000 financial penalty.
What to watch
York is eligible to return to the 49ers on Oct. 20, following the team’s Oct. 19 game against the Washington Commanders.
