49ers Suspend De'Vondre Campbell for Refusing to Enter Game

The linebacker was benched after losing his starting role and declined to play during a critical loss, leading to a three-game suspension.

De'Vondre Campbell was suspended for the final three regular-season games after refusing to enter the 49ers' loss to the Rams on December 12.
The 31-year-old linebacker declined to play when asked to replace Dre Greenlaw, who was sidelined with Achilles soreness during the game.
49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan and several teammates criticized Campbell’s actions as selfish and detrimental to the team.
The suspension prevents Campbell from joining another team this season and allows the 49ers to potentially recover portions of his signing bonus and salary.
Campbell, who signed a one-year, $5 million deal in March, started 12 of the first 13 games but struggled with performance and lost his starting role upon Greenlaw's return.
