Colin Kaepernick played in a football game for the first time in 292 days Friday night.
And he looked like a quarterback playing for the first time in 292 days.
Kaepernick’s attempts to shake off nine-plus months of rust were overwhelmingly unsuccessful in the 49ers’ 21-10 preseason loss to the Packers at Levi’s Stadium. He completed 2 of 6 passes for 14 yards in three drives, which netted one first down and three punts. His last three passes, all incompletions, were either batted down or tipped by Green Bay defenders.
The no-duh conclusion: Blaine Gabbert will start the regular-season opener against the Rams on Sept.
