San Francisco 49ers linebacker Dre Greenlaw returned to play 10 months after rupturing his Achilles in the 12-6 loss to the Los Angeles Rams on Thursday. He suffered a knee injury and fellow LB Dee Winters hurt his neck. Kyle Shanahan asked (told?) De’Vondre Campbell to go into the game. The veteran LB reused.
And then in the fourth quarter took a walk to the 49ers locker room with the game — and season — at stake.\

“He said he didn’t want to play today,” Shanahan said.
Other 49er players ridiculed Campbell’s stunningly selfish act. He doesn’t deserve to be referred to as a teammate.

Interesting tweet with salty lalguage from Campbell in 2023:
Not going out my way anymore and I’m not playing through injuries anymore cause when shit goes wrong they always use it against you. I’m treating everyone accordingly and giving them the same energy they giving me. Focus on yourself and your mental 59 you owe it to yourself 🤝🏿
