The San Francisco 49ers were fined $100,000 as an organization for the incident, and Charvarius Ward was also fined for a facemask.
The NFL announces fines every Saturday afternoon for any incident that occurred the week before. The San Francisco 49ers organization was fined $100,000, and Dre Greenlaw, who is on the Physically Unable to Perform List, was fined $14,069 for an incident last week on the sideline against the Arizona Cardinals.
During the play, 49ers cornerback Charvarius Ward was locked up with Cardinals tight end Trey McBride. It escalated deep into the Niners bench, where Greenlaw came from out of nowhere and shoved McBride into the Gatorade cooler.

That’s the kind of play where Greenlaw will get a slap on the wrist. Kyle Shanahan probably called him into his office, and after saying, “Don’t do that again,” they started talking about something else.
The 49ers defense lacks that attitude, and it shows about once every quarter. This defense cannot wait to regain that type of tenacity and aggression.
McBride was also fined $9,545 on the play, while Ward was fined $11,255 by the NFL for a facemask in Week 5.
