San Francisco 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan confirmed that linebacker De’Vondre Campbell declined to enter the game during the second half. This decision came after the return of Dre Greenlaw, who was making his comeback from a torn left Achilles tendon sustained in the Super Bowl last season. Greenlaw made an impressive impact, recording eight tackles in the first half, although his playing time diminished in the latter half.
Campbell, a veteran linebacker, found himself in a challenging position after losing his starting spot to Greenlaw. His refusal to participate in the game raised eyebrows among teammates and fans alike. Charvarius Ward, a fellow 49ers player, publicly criticized Campbell’s choice, labeling it as “some sucker stuff” and speculating that Campbell might be on the verge of being cut from the team.
The game concluded with the 49ers falling to the Los Angeles Rams, 12-6. This matchup marked a rare instance in the NFL this season, as it was the only game that did not feature a touchdown. Just days prior, the Rams showcased their offensive prowess in a thrilling 44-42 victory over the Buffalo Bills, highlighting the stark contrast in performance.
