San Francisco linebacker Dre Greenlaw, who received an unnecessary roughness penalty for a hit on Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua in the second quarter, did not receive a fine.
Greenlaw also received an unnecessary roughness penalty with 5:50 remaining in the fourth quarter of the 49ers' Week 3 win on Thursday for a hit on New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton, his second in as many games. It remains to be seen if Greenlaw will receive a second fine at some point next week.
