San Francisco 49ers owner Jed York skipped Wednesday's NFL owners' meeting in Atlanta after his arrest Sunday in East Palestine, Ohio, on prostitution-related charges. Prosecutors reduced the charge to disorderly conduct; York pleaded no contest and was fined $1,150. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said the league is reviewing whether York violated its personal conduct policy.
CEO Al Guido represented the franchise at the meeting. Bodycam footage released this week shows York being stopped during an undercover sting, appearing confused as officers questioned and handcuffed him. He served one day in jail and had money seized by police.
The 49ers' football operations, managed by coach Kyle Shanahan and general manager John Lynch, have continued uninterrupted. Shanahan said York's absence from the meeting does not affect the team's routine, noting York has consistently allowed football staff to make personnel decisions.
