The 49ers are achieved with linebacker De’Vondre Campbell.
Yes, they’ve imposed a three-game suspension after he refused to play on Thursday night time. But that’s an apparent (and hardly unjustified) effort to avoid wasting cash and to maintain him from taking part in for an additional crew, which is likely to be what he desires. Regardless, he received’t be again.
Via Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com, the 49ers have emptied Campbell’s locker and eliminated his title plate.
No one on the crew can be complaining. After Thursday night time’s loss to the Rams, tight finish George Kittle and cornerback Charvarius Ward sounded off. Today, extra gamers chimed in.
Via Wagoner, defensive finish Nick Bosa mentioned Campbell was complaining within the locker room earlier than the sport. Bosa thought of stepping in, however he didn’t need to “create extra of a distraction.”
“I sort of noticed the foreshadowing and I positively didn’t assume it was going to end in that,” Bosa mentioned.
Cornerback Deommodore Lenoir added this: “I simply misplaced all respect. I’m an individual that’s going 110 p.c each play. If I’m damage and the man behind me will not be backing me up and may’t are available or don’t need to go in, I simply really feel like he’s a most cancers to the crew.”
The indisputable fact that Campbell hasn’t provided his model of the occasions, instantly or by way of his agent, within the 4 days because it occurred is telling. If he had cause for refusing to play, we’d find out about it.
What we now know is he received’t be taking part in once more this season, for the 49ers or anybody else — barring an emergency grievance geared toward overturning the suspension and forcing the 49ers to maintain him or waive him.
