The NFL may fine 49ers linebacker Nick Bosa for potentially violating its personal messaging policy, a league source told NBC Sports Bay Area’s Matt Maiocco on Friday. Removal is not considered.

Jonathan Jones of CBS Sports First reported on the NFL’s investigation on FridayA decision won’t be made “until late next week,” he said, citing a source.

Bosa wore a “Make America Great Again” hat to support former President Donald Trump on the field Sunday night after a 30-24 win over the Dallas Cowboys at Levi’s Stadium. He interrupted NBC reporter Melissa Stark’s postgame interview with 49ers teammates Brock Purdy, George Kittle and Isaac Guerendo by pointing at the hat and then walking away.
