The 49ers lifted Campbell's suspension Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. Campbell was suspended for San Francisco's final three regular-season contests after he refused to enter the team's Week 15 loss to the Rams. The 31-year-old joined the 49ers on a one-year contract last March and now is slated to become a free agent. Given his unceremonious ending to the season, it's a foregone conclusion that Campbell won't be with San Francisco next season.

The 49ers are expected to suspend Campbell for the final three games of the regular season after the linebacker refused to enter Thursday's 12-6 loss to the Rams, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. Campbell had played at least 62 percent of the 49ers' defensive snaps through the team's first 13 games while totaling 79 tackles, but he lost his starting job in Week 15 after Dre Greenlaw was cleared to make his season debut. With Greenlaw's night coming to an early end after he experienced soreness in his surgically repaired Achilles tendon and fellow linebacker Dee Winters (neck) also exiting early, the 49ers called upon Campbell to step in, but the 31-year-old declined to do so. While speaking to the media Friday, head coach Kyle Shanahan said that Campbell would no longer be part of the team due to his actions, but rather than waiving the veteran linebacker and allowing him to find an opportunity elsewhere before the end of the season, the team is instead planning on suspending him. Expect the transaction to be made official within the next couple of days, bringing an end to Campbell's tenure in San Francisco before he becomes a free agent this spring.

Campbell recorded five tackles (three solo) during Sunday's 35-10 loss at Buffalo. Despite playing a healthy 40 defensive snaps Sunday, Campbell failed to tally seven tackles for the first time since Week 7 versus the Chiefs. He's still narrowly on pace for his third 100-tackle season as a pro heading into a Week 14 tilt versus the Bears.

Campbell compiled seven tackles (four solo) in the 49ers' win Sunday versus Tampa Bay. Campbell finished second on the team in tackles behind Fred Warner' nine. Campbell has now racked up seven or more tackles in back-to-back games and four times total this season. He will look to produce again during San Francisco's Week 11 matchup versus Seattle.

Campbell wrapped up nine tackles (two solo) with one pass defended in Sunday's 24-23 loss to the Cardinals. Campbell's nine tackles marked a new season high for the newly signed linebacker. The 30-year-old has posted modest numbers despite playing nearly every snap on defense for San Francisco this season. The 129-plus tackle seasons from Campbell's days in Atlanta and Green Bay seem like a distant memory, but there may still be some IDP value to be had for the starting linebacker.
