The team had Kaepernick back off his passing work after he experienced shoulder soreness following practice on August 10. Things did not work out, so head coach Mike Zimmer opted to go with Teddy Bridgewater instead.

And it is NOT blurry with Gabbert, who looked bad early Sunday but rallied to finish his three-series effort with a 43-yard touchdown pass to tight end Vance McDonald.
The red and gold lost to Houston 24-13. But what he did bring to the table was a familiarity with Kelly’s offense that none of the other three quarterbacks could bring.
The health matters complicate the ongoing QB battle for the 49ers, who started Blaine Gabbert on Saturday. In that year, both Marshawn Lynch and Alfred Morris saw their respective career high’s in yards per carry, and while Frank Gore’s wasn’t a career mark, he went from averaging 4.2 and 4.3 in the two previous seasons to almost five yards per carry in 2012. Of those 302 yards, the Niners amassed 161 on the ground at an average of 7.7 yards per carry. Goff was only 4 of 9 passing for 38 yards, and he was intercepted on the second pass of his career. “He was with us in Philly last year, and this was his second year in the system, and you could see him get into a rhythm (Sunday)”. “It opens things up for the offense and that’s really the value of his offense”. “He has experience in the system, he was in Philly with us previous year, he has a dynamic personality and he has a really good chemistry with the guys on our team and so he mentioned to me today that he would like to stay around and be around the program during the rehab which would be great for us”.
“They’re easing him back into throwing right now”, Kelly said. In terms of tempo, I thought we did well. It simply is just a matter of getting through the season. Lewis has also been on the roster for the Buffalo Bills, Houston Texans, Philadelphia Eagles, and now with the 49ers. Kelly said the 49ers received the official confirmation of the injury on Monday morning and hadn’t yet had the chance to discuss what comes next. “We’re running in between the tackles”. The receiver got his hand on the ball, but it was tipped into the air and grabbed by cornerback Lorenzo Doss, who ran into the end zone.
“If there is an opportunity to run the ball”, Driskel said of his 61-yard day, “I’m going to take it”. (Ellington was seen running sprints after practice).
Thaddeus Lewis graduated from Duke in 2010 and was picked up by the St. Louis Rams after going undrafted after his senior season. “When we get rolling and string together a bunch of quality plays and have extended drives, it puts such pressure on the defense to make plays”.
Then the Chiefs were flagged for having 12 men on the field, moving the ball to the 1, and Pope went off left guard to score the victor.

“It was fun to get out there and get our feet wet in this system”. If he can not throw on Thursday, I see no way he plays on Saturday.
