49ers owner Jed York to miss home opener amid legal issues

San Francisco 49ers owner Jed York will be absent from the team's home opener against the Miami Dolphins on Sunday, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter. York, who was in Australia for the season-opening game in Melbourne, is staying away following his recent arrest in Ohio on suspicion of prostitution. > "York is staying away from the Niners so as not to create a distraction," a source said. The NFL is expected to decide soon on any disciplinary action under its personal conduct policy. York pleaded no contest to two misdemeanor charges after being arrested on Aug. 24 for arranging sexual activity through an online ad and was later charged with misdemeanor disorderly conduct as part of a plea agreement. The league said it was aware of the matter and would review it.
