Dre Greenlaw played in his first game for the Denver Broncos after he returned from injured reserve on Sunday, but the veteran linebacker has now been suspended for Week 8.

The NFL announced on Monday that Greenlaw has been suspended one game for unsportsmanlike conduct because of his actions toward referee Brad Allen following Denver's 33-32 win over the New York Giants on Sunday. The league said in a statement that Greenlaw chased Allen and verbally threatened him as the official was leaving the field after the game ended.

Greenlaw was found to be in violation of Rule 12, Section 3, Article 1(b), which prohibits “the use of abusive, threatening or insulting language or gestures to opponents, teammates, officials, or representatives of the League.”
