Greenlaw Suspension Upheld; Will Miss Week 8

The NFL has upheld Dre Greenlaw’s one-game suspension for chasing and verbally threatening referee Brad Allen after Denver’s 33–32 win over the New York Giants, so Greenlaw will miss the Broncos’ Week 8 home game against the Dallas Cowboys. The league cited a violation of Rule 12, Section 3, Article 1(b); the suspension costs Greenlaw a game check and requires him to sit out team practices this week. Video of the incident shows Greenlaw running up to and yelling at referee Brad Allen, and some footage also captures Allen appearing to push teammate Justin Strnad amid the post‑play scrum. Greenlaw had just made his season debut for Denver after signing in March and returning from a quad injury, recording six tackles in roughly 20–21 snaps. The Broncos plan to rely on Alex Singleton and Justin Strnad to fill his role against Dallas. Denver coaches and players have publicly criticized the officiating in the wake of the incident.
