The NFL suspended San Francisco 49ers principal owner Jed York for six games and fined him $500,000 for violating the league’s personal conduct policy. York, 46, was arrested in Ohio in August and initially faced misdemeanor charges of engaging in prostitution and possessing criminal tools; the prostitution charge was later amended to disorderly conduct under a no-contest plea agreement. The league credited him with serving three games by staying away from the team during its investigation, leaving three games to serve before he becomes eligible to return Tuesday, Oct. 20. York accepted the decision, apologized and said he would work to regain the trust of his family, the 49ers organization, fans and partners. San Francisco opened the season 3-0. York was the team’s CEO until February and has been its principal owner since 2024.
