De’Vondre Campbell won’t be part of the 49ers after his refusal to enter a game, Kyle Shanahan says
Associated PressSANTA CLARA, Calif. — San Francisco coach Kyle Shanahan said linebacker De’Vondre Campbell won’t be part of the 49ers moving forward after he refused to enter a game after losing his starting job. “We’re working through the semantics right now, but we’ll handle the situation appropriately.” Shanahan said Campbell won’t be part of the team for the final three weeks. Campbell had started 12 of the first 13 games of the season and played 90% of defensive snaps for the 49ers but was benched Thursday night after Dre Greenlaw came back for his first game since tearing his left Achilles tendon in last season’s Super Bowl. Tight end George Kittle called Campbell’s actions “stupid” and “immature.” “It’s one person making a selfish decision,” Kittle said.
