De’Vondre Campbell: 49ers team and coach stunned after linebacker refuses to play against 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. So, I don’t think we need to talk about him anymore.” 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. Probably gonna get cut soon, so it is what it is with that.” Campbell’s actions were the main talking point from a rainy affair at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, that featured two teams playing on four days’ rest, with both offenses struggling to get much going throughout.
