Kyle Shanahan and the San Francisco 49ers were favorites to win the Super Bowl before the start of the 2024 season. However, injuries have derailed all their plans and now face imminent elimination with a 6-8 record.
Last Thursday, the 49ers saw chaos unfold. They lost 12-6 against Matthew Stafford and the Los Angeles Rams. In a shocking turn of events, San Francisco couldnât score a single touchdown.
Furthermore, DeâVondre Campbell refused to play after he lost the starting job at linebacker with the return of Dre Greenlaw. Right now, this is the biggest story in the NFL.
Will 49ers release DeâVondre Campbell?
The San Francisco 49ers will release DeâVondre Campbell after his decision to not play in the game against the Rams. Although itâs not official yet, Kyle Shanahan confirmed thatâs the path to follow.
âWeâre working through the semantics of exactly how to deal with it, but, I mean, you guys heard from me last night. You guys heard from our players. His actions from the game, itâs not something you can do to your team or your teammates and still get to be a part of our team. Weâre working through exactly the semantics of it right now, but, weâll handle the situation appropriately.â

What happened with DeâVondre Campbell and 49ers?
DeâVondre Campbell refused to play for the 49ers in the game facing the Rams when Kyle Shanahan decided to bench him because Dre Greenlaw was finally back from an Achilles injury suffered in the last Super Bowl.
âWe were needing a starting caliber linebacker to fill in for Dre until he could get back. We didnât know how long that would be. I thought he had some ups and downs throughout the year. I thought he started off slow. I thought he got more used to our defense and how we expected people to play and I thought he improved throughout the year.â
