Summary
Kyle Shanahan said Jed York’s arrest and no-contest plea to misdemeanor disorderly conduct and possessing criminal tools charges have had no impact on the 49ers’ day-to-day operations or meetings.
The coach said he has spoken with York over the past two days, still respects him and his family, and views the matter as personal rather than a football distraction.
York was jailed after Ohio authorities said he tried three times to solicit a prostitute through a website tied to a human-trafficking sting, putting the owner at the center of national headlines.
The NFL said Monday that York is subject to its Personal Conduct Policy, and owners meeting Wednesday to vote on the Seattle Seahawks sale are expected to discuss the case.
