When De’Vondre Campbell quit on the San Francisco 49ers during their Thursday night loss to the Rams, only one reporter covering the team seemed to notice.
Jake Hutchinson of 95.7 The Game (KGMZ-FM) was the only reporter who posted on social media during the game about Campbell walking back to the locker room. In a phone call with SFGATE on Tuesday, Hutchinson said he really only took note of Campbell’s absence when he saw a 49ers depth linebacker, Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles, was playing over the former All-Pro.

“I was confused why Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles was in the game,” Hutchinson explained.
