A report from Jay Glazer of Fox Sports said general manager John Lynch confronted Campbell and told him to leave the sideline. Niners players criticized Campbell for not going in the game. The day after the game, Shanahan said Campbell's refusal to go in was "not something you can do and still be a part of our team."

De’Vondre Campbell posted several messages on social media Friday after facing criticism about his decision to quit mid-game during the San Francisco 49ers' Week 15 game.

Former Packers linebacker De'Vondre Campbell refused to enter a late-season game for the 49ers this fall, and he attempted to explain why when he went on a social media tirade.

De’Vondre Campbell addressed his suspension from the San Francisco 49ers for the first time in a profane rant on X on Feb. 21, more than two months after refusing to play in a Dec. 12 game.

Linebacker De'Vondre Campbell turned himself into one of the heels of the 2024 NFL season, when he straight-up declined to play when called upon during the San Francisco 49ers' Thursday night loss to the Los Angeles Rams back in mid-December.

For the first time since he quit on the 49ers, linebacker De'Vondre Campbell commented on his exit on social media. Campbell took to "X" after being fed up with posts from people criticizing him. He essentially was crashing out online over his 49ers exit.
