San Francisco 49ers LB Dre Greenlaw is back for the first time since tearing his left Achilles tendon in last season’s Super Bowl. He played eight games in the first half but played less in the second half.
Veteran LB De’Vondre Campbell, who lost his starting role when Greenlaw returned, declined to enter the game in the second half, 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan said after the game.
“That’s a guy who doesn’t want to play football,” Shanahan told reporters. “It’s very simple. I think our team and I, I know how we feel about that, so I don’t think we should talk about him.”
Campbell’s teammate, Charvarius Ward, called Campbell’s decision “small stuff,” and added that “he’s probably going to get cut soon.”
The 49ers lost to the Los Angeles Rams 12-6 in the only game this year that did not have a touchdown. Four nights ago, the Rams won the highest-scoring game of the NFL season, a 44-42 victory over the Buffalo Bills.
