49ers Expected to Suspend De'Vondre Campbell After Refusal to Enter Game
The veteran linebacker reportedly faces suspension and potential financial penalties following his decision not to play during a loss to the Rams.
- De'Vondre Campbell refused to enter the game during the 49ers' 12-6 loss to the Los Angeles Rams, leading to backlash from teammates and coaches.
- Head coach Kyle Shanahan confirmed that Campbell will no longer be part of the team, with the organization working on the specifics of how to address the situation.
- Reports indicate the team plans to suspend Campbell rather than release him, which could allow the 49ers to recover a portion of his $3.35 million signing bonus.
- Campbell, a former All-Pro, had been signed on a one-year deal to fill in during Dre Greenlaw's recovery but lost his starting role when Greenlaw returned.
- The suspension may complicate Campbell's ability to join another team this season, potentially marking a difficult end to his NFL career.
