49ers Owner Jed York Misses NFL Meeting After No-Contest Plea in Prostitution Sting

3 articles · Updated · NBC Sports · Aug 26

Summary

  • Atlanta's NFL owners meeting proceeded without Jed York on Wednesday, with 49ers CEO Al Guido expected to represent the team during a vote centered on the Seahawks' sale.
  • Monday's no-contest plea to disorderly conduct and possession of criminal tools came a day after York's arrest in a prostitution sting at a trailer park in East Palestine, Ohio.
  • The NFL is reviewing the case under its Personal Conduct Policy, and discipline could come quickly because the legal matter is already resolved.
  • That timeline matters for San Francisco because the 49ers are scheduled to play in Australia in 15 days.
