The 49ers have suspended De’Vondre Campbell for final 3 games
Associated PressSANTA CLARA, Calif. — The San Francisco 49ers suspended linebacker De’Vondre Campbell for the rest of the regular season after he refused to enter a game after losing his starting job. The news came four days after Campbell’s refusal to go into a game against the Los Angeles Rams was decried by coaches and teammates as a “selfish” act. 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. I definitely didn’t think it was going to result in that.” Bosa said he doesn’t regret not trying to make it an issue before the game because “if he was going to do that then he’s not the type of guy to be here.” Campbell walked off the field with a towel draped over his head and went into the locker room before the end of the game with the Rams that almost ended the 49ers’ playoff hopes.
