Report: Vernon Davis, Joe Staley clashed over Colin Kaepernick

Although the San Francisco 49ers continue to insist there’s no locker room friction, an incident from a few weeks ago is making headlines as they prepare for Sunday’s matchup with the St. Louis Rams.

CSNBayArea.com reported earlier this week that the 49ers had a “heated” team meeting following their Week 4 loss to the Green Bay Packers, with one player stepping up in support of Colin Kaepernick after another teammate called out the fifth-year quarterback. We now know the combatants.

Tight end Vernon Davis called out Kaepernick, and left tackle Joe Staley defended the QB, multiple sources told CSNBayArea.
