SAN FRANCISCO (AP) – Vernon Davis’ frustrations with Michael Crabtree finally came to a boiling point, and the San Francisco 49ers’ Pro Bowl tight end let his teammate have it – and for everyone to see.
After Thursday night’s 17-14 preseason win over the Chargers, Davis addressed his verbal outburst at Crabtree during Wednesday’s practice. Davis said as a captain, something had to be said and he was just doing his job.
Coach Mike Singletary had to step between the two players and the three headed to the locker room for about 10 minutes. Each returned to practice, but separately. Neither Crabtree nor Davis played at all this preseason for the Niners (4-0) because of injuries.
Davis said his issue with Crabtree was football related but not about the second-year wideout not playing. Crabtree left without facing reporters after the game and hasn’t spoken formally since the start of training camp Aug. 1.
