Sources: 49ers to suspend De'Vondre Campbell three games

The San Francisco 49ers plan to suspend linebacker De'Vondre Campbell three games for refusing to enter Thursday night's game against the Los Angeles Rams, sources confirmed to ESPN on Monday.

The suspension, first reported by NFL Network, would likely end Campbell's season. The 49ers (6-8) are mathematically alive for the postseason but behind four other teams for the seventh and final NFC playoff spot.

Campbell's decision not to play in the Niners' 12-6 loss angered coach Kyle Shanahan and many of his teammates.

"It's not something you can do to your team or your teammates and still get to be a part of our team," Shanahan said Friday.
