Charvarius Ward thinks teammate will get cut after quitting vs. Rams

The veteran linebacker refused to enter the game on Thursday against the Rams.

Following the San Francisco 49ers’ ugly loss to the Los Angeles Rams on Thursday Night Football, Kyle Shanahan revealed a surprise turn from a veteran linebacker.

According to Shanahan, 49ers linebacker De’Vondre Campbell refused to enter the game, and exited the sideline to the locker room. Shanahan told reporters that Campbell didn’t want to play football on Thursday night. The 49ers asked Campbell to enter the game when Dre Greenlaw was sidelined with an injury, and the 31-year-old veteran linebacker refused.

After the game, Campbell’s teammates were asked about his decision. 49ers cornerback Charvarius Ward didn’t hold back with a brutally honest reaction, saying he believes Campbell will be released.

Via @mattblively on Twitter:

He’s a professional. He’s been playing for a long time. If he didn’t want to play, he shouldn’t have dressed out. He could’ve told me that before the game. So I feel like that was some sucker sh-t that he did. It definitely hurt the team, cause you know, Dee [Winters] went down, and we needed a linebacker, and I think Flan [Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles] was banged up, too. So, for him to do that, that’s some sucker stuff to me. He’s probably going to get cut soon.

Campbell has played in 13 games with the 49ers after signing in the Bay Area in the offseason. Campbell has played nine seasons in the NFL, playing for the Atlanta Falcons and Green Bay Packers. In 13 games with the 49ers, including 12 starts, Campbell has recorded 79 tackles and three tackles for loss.

49ers inactives: Lots of good injury news vs. Rams

Thursday Night Football against the Rams will mark the return of two key pieces on the 49ers’ defense.

For the first time maybe all season, the San Francisco 49ers are getting good news when it comes to injuries and inactive for their Thursday Night Football tilt against the Los Angeles Rams at Levi’s Stadium.

Before the positive news, the 49ers announced six inactive players for Thursday night, including All-Pro left tackle Trent Williams and rookie safety Malik Mustapha. New running back Israel Abanikanda is also listed as inactive along with QB Joshua Dobbs, DL Khalil Davis and CB Rock Ya-Sin.

Via @AdamSchefter on Twitter:

While they’ll have to figure out how to deal with the Rams without Williams and Mustapha, the 49ers will be getting back defensive star Dre Greenlaw and Nick Bosa.

Along with the highly anticipated returns for Bosa and Greenlaw, the 49ers will also have breakout running back Isaac Guerendo on the field on Thursday. Guerendo has been banged up since his performance last week against the Bears. The rookie running back has been dealing with a foot sprain.

The 49ers will kick off against the Rams on Thursday night at 5:20 p.m. PT.

It’s 49ers vs Rams in Week 15 of the 2024 NFL season. Here’s how to watch, including time, channel, TV schedule and streaming info.

The San Francisco 49ers (6-7) can take a large step toward reentering the NFC West race and NFC playoffs picture with a win over the Los Angeles Rams (7-6) on Thursday night.

After three straight losses, the 49ers got right in a big way last week with a 38-13 romp over the Chicago Bears. Quarterback Brock Purdy threw for 325 passing yards and a pair of scores to receiver Jauan Jennings.

Rookie 49ers running back Isaac Guerendo was terrific as well, carrying 15 times for 78 yards and catching a pair of passes for 50 yards. Guerendo’s status against the Rams was listed as questionable on Wednesday, though.

Meanwhile, the Rams picked up one of the biggest wins of Week 14 in their 44-42 victory over the Buffalo Bills. Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford passed for 320 yards and a pair of scores in Los Angeles’ win over Buffalo.

The Rams won the two teams’ first meeting this season, 27-24, on Sept. 22. Los Angeles rallied back from a pair of 14-point deficits to stun the 49ers with a late, 37-yard Joshua Karty field goal.

With San Francisco trying to slice into the Seattle Seahawks‘ lead in the NFC West, Thursday night against the Rams is a must-win.

As kickoff approaches, here’s how to watch the 49ers game, including time and streaming information:

49ers vs Rams injury report: Latest update, news on Isaac Guerendo for Week 15

All the latest updates and news on 49ers’ injury report ahead of a Week 15 game vs. the Rams.

The San Francisco 49ers’ Week 15 injury report inspired a little bit of optimism on the health front as they enter a virtual must-win matchup with the Los Angeles Rams.

Running back Isaac Guerendo returned to practice after being listed as a non-participant Monday and Tuesday because of a foot injury. He was limited and is officially questionable, but that’s a better sign than if he missed the session entirely.

Head coach Kyle Shanahan early in the week indicated there was some hope Guerendo would be ready for Thursday. There was no media availability Wednesday so it’s unclear how much progress Guerendo made during the week.

Other good news featured the return of defensive end Nick Bosa. He was limited and is listed as questionable after missing the last three games with hip and oblique injuries.

Linebacker Dre Greenlaw was also a full participant for the first time since having his 21-day practice window opened. He missed the last two games and was limited Monday and Tuesday. A full practice and ‘questionable’ designation mean he could make his return Thursday night at Levi’s Stadium.

49ers injury report

Out

OL Ben Bartch (ankle)
S Malik Mustapha (shoulder)
LT Trent Williams (ankle)

Mustapha was downgraded to a non-participant Wednesday. Ji’Ayir Brown figures to get the start alongside Talanoa Hufanga.

Questionable

DE Nick Bosa (hip, oblique)
DT Khalil Davis (knee)
LB Dre Greenlaw (Achilles)
RB Isaac Guerendo (foot)

It would be a massive lift and some awesome injury news if Bosa, Greenlaw and Guerendo all play Thursday.

49ers new starting RB remains out of Week 15 practice with foot injury

Still no Isaac Guerendo in practice for the 49ers.

The San Francisco 49ers may be down to their fourth-string running back Thursday against the Los Angeles Rams.

Head coach Kyle Shanahan on Tuesday told reporters in a pre-practice press conference that rookie running back Isaac Guerendo wouldn’t participate in the day’s session as he continues recovering from a foot sprain he sustained in the team’s 38-13 win over the Chicago Bears in Week 14.

Guerendo was in the starting lineup for the first time as a pro because of a knee injury for RB Christian McCaffrey and an ankle injury for RB Jordan Mason. Both players were placed on IR and opened the door for Guerendo, a 2024 fourth-round pick, to step into the starting lineup. He posted 128 scrimmage yards and two touchdowns before exiting against Chicago.

The 49ers didn’t have a practice Monday, but they released a projected participation report that listed Guerendo as a non-participant. It’s not a surprise he’s a non-participant again Tuesday. Shanahan on Monday said Guerendo’s status for Thursday is up in the air.

“The only idea I have is what I told you guys,” Shanahan said via conference call. “He’s got a foot sprain and definitely couldn’t go today. And so, we’ll see if he can go on Thursday, but definitely can’t go (Monday). It’s a quick turnaround, so we’ve got to evaluate him hard each day. I’ll be surprised if he does much tomorrow, but hopefully Thursday will be enough time for him.”

It’s not a great sign that Guerendo hasn’t been able to go the first couple days of the week. The good news for the 49ers is they don’t ultimately have to make a decision until 90 minutes before kickoff unless they rule him out on Wednesday’s injury report.

Jauan Jennings makes up for 49ers injuries by himself

Make that a hat-trick for Jauan Jennings against the Rams.

Jauan Jennings has arrived.

With Deebo Samuel and George Kittle sidelined, the fourth-year wide receiver out of Tennessee broke out with a hat trick performance against the Los Angeles Rams in Week 3.

After catching a pair of touchdowns in the first half, Brock Purdy went right back to Jennings in the third quarter to make it a two-score ballgame in Los Angeles.

Purdy floated a pretty pass into the open arms of Jennings for a 31-yard touchdown.

49ers injury news: Trent Williams exits vs. Rams

The 49ers star left tackle exited the game in the second quarter against the Rams.

With injuries piling up, including multiple All-Pros like Christian McCaffrey, Deebo Samuel and George Kittle sidelined, the injury bug struck again on Sunday in Los Angeles.

During the second quarter of their Week 3 contest against the Los Angeles Rams, San Fransisco 49ers star left tackle Trent Williams exited the game. Williams appeared to get up slow with late in the second quarter. With only a minute left in the first half, Williams exited the game and into the locker room early at SoFi Stadium.

According to Matt Barrows of The Athletic, Williams left the game with cramps. Williams had to exit the game in Week 1 against the New York Jets to receive an IV. With Williams out, Jaylon Moore will slide in at offensive tackle.

Brock Purdy magic leads to Jauan Jennings’ second TD vs. Rams

The Brock Purdy to Jauan Jennings connection is rolling early in Los Angeles.

With multiple playmakers like Christian McCaffrey, Deebo Samuel and George Kittle sidelined in Week 3, Brock Purdy is leaning on San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings early against the Los Angeles Rams.

After connecting for a wide-open 13-yard touchdown to start the game, Purdy went back to the Tennessee product on the 49ers’ second trip to the red zone.

Following a dance and a scramble to break free, the 49ers quarterback was able to find Jennings again in the back of the end zone for a touchdown strike. Purdy added a four-yard touchdown pass to Jennings’ impressive start against the Rams on Sunday.

Via @49ers on Twitter:

Early in the game, Jennings is leading the 49ers receivers with three catches for 51 yards and two touchdowns against the Rams.
