Kyle Shanahan says De’Vondre Campbell not expected to play for 49ers again this season after refusing to enter game vs Rams
CNNCNN — 49ers linebacker De’Vondre Campbell refused to play when asked during the team’s Thursday night 12-6 loss against the Rams as Los Angeles eked past San Francisco to keep its playoff hopes alive. Shanahan also said the team is “working through the semantics of it.” Shanahan said in his post-game press conference that Campbell gave no reason for why he didn’t want to play. So, I don’t think we need to talk about him anymore.” On Thursday night, 49ers tight end George Kittle called Campbell’s decision “selfish.” “Look, if you’re on the roster and you suit up, you’re expected to play,” Kittle told reporters. It kinda puts you down, especially when you lose two linebackers and could have dressed another one.” San Francisco cornerback Charvarius Ward, who was playing in his third game since returning following the death of his daughter, was critical of Campbell’s actions.
