The NFL isn’t budging on its stance to suspend a key member of the Broncos’ defense.
On Tuesday night, NFL spokesman Michael Signora announced that the league upheld its one-game suspension of Dre Greenlaw, a day after multiple sources told The Denver Post that Greenlaw would appeal the suspension.
The Broncos will now be down their starting weak-side linebacker for Week 8 against the Dallas Cowboys in Denver on Sunday after Greenlaw made his season debut in Week 7.
Greenlaw was captured on video chasing after referee Brad Allen and shouting at him following kicker Wil Lutz’s game-winning field goal against the Giants last Sunday. The league announced Monday that Greenlaw’s suspension was based on a violation of NFL rules prohibiting the use of “abusive, threatening or insulting language or gestures” to teammates, officials or league representatives.
“After the conclusion of the Giants-Broncos game, Greenlaw chased after referee Brad Allen and verbally threatened him as he tried to leave the field,” the NFL said in a statement.
Multiple members of the Broncos criticized the officiating on Sunday, including head coach Sean Payton and linebacker Justin Strnad. The Broncos were dinged for a season-high 12 penalties.
