The NFL has suspended San Francisco 49ers owner Jed York for six games and imposed a $500,000 fine following his arrest earlier this year in an Ohio prostitution sting. The league announced the disciplinary actions on Friday, citing a violation of its personal conduct policy.

York, who has not participated in any games or league meetings this season, was credited with serving three games of the suspension. Consequently, he is eligible to resume involvement with the team and league activities beginning October 20, the day after the 49ers’ game against Washington. This date also coincides with the start of the NFL’s fall league meetings in New York.

The suspension and fine underscore the NFL’s commitment to enforcing standards of conduct for its team owners, reflecting the league’s broader efforts to maintain integrity and public trust. The league did not provide further details regarding York’s arrest or any ongoing legal proceedings.
