SANTA CLARA -- On Monday in the 49ers locker room, Nick Bosa was asked about De'Vondre Campbell quitting on the team. Here's what Bosa said.

Q: Did you guys see this coming from him?

BOSA: "I actually did. In the locker room before the game, I heard some complaining. I was going to say something. Didn't because I didn't want to create more of a distraction, but kind of felt it. So yeah, I kind of saw the foreshadowing. I definitely didn't think it was going to result in that. Didn't know it happened during the game."

Q: Do you regret not saying anything now?

BOSA: "Not really, no. If he was going to do that, then he's not the type of guy to be here."

Q: It was no shock that Dre Greenlaw got his starting role back -- that was the plan all along. Was the issue that he was behind Dee Winters as well?

BOSA: "I don't know. Was he behind Dee?"

Q: Yeah.

BOSA: "Yeah, I don't know."

Q: People see that and think there must be widespread issues inside the locker room. Can you address that?

BOSA: "No, this locker room is great. It always has been great. Sometimes when you bring somebody who's older in from a different place, you don't know. I mean, he was a good dude. It's not like I didn't like him. But no, there are no issues in this locker room. Very rarely."

Q: You had never seen anything from him previous to Thursday night that made you think he might be capable of this?

BOSA: "Not really, no."
