49ers player ejected after helmet-to-helmet hit on Chargers QB Justin Herbert

San Francisco 49ers linebacker Dre Greenlaw was ejected late in the first half Sunday night for a helmet-to-helmet shot on Los Angeles Chargers QB Justin Herbert.

He was lowering his shoulder to hit the QB on a play where Herbert tucked and ran. 49ers defensive back Jimmie Ward hit Herbert, which knocked him forward into Greenlaw.

It didn't seem as though Greenlaw was head-hunting, but he was caught out in the wrong place at the wrong time. Herbert was temporarily removed from the game and relieved by backup QB Chase Daniel. Herbert, who was presumably being checked for a head injury, returned after halftime.
