The 49ers are still working out exactly how to deal with linebacker De’Vondre Campbell after he refused to enter Thursday night’s loss to the Rams.
49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said on Thursday night that the team will “figure out something” when asked about a response and the subject came up again at a Friday press conference.
Shanahan said, via multiple reporters, that the 49ers are still “working through the semantics” of what to do, but said he does not expect Campbell to remain with the 49ers. Shanahan said that refusing to play in a game is “not something you can do to your team or teammates and still be a part of our team.”
The response from other 49ers players made it clear that Campbell’s continued presence with the team wouldn’t be tenable and it appears to be just a matter of how and when they cut ties with the veteran at this point.
