Offensive coordinator Curtis Modkins said this morning he expects quarterback Colin Kaepernick to be on the 49ers’ roster in Week 1.
“That’s not my decision -- I would anticipate that,” Modkins said. “But that’s not where we’re at right now. We’re getting ready for the Chargers right now … I don’t anticipate that not being the case.”
Kaepernick will play in the preseason finale in San Diego on Thursday night after making his preseason debut in 21-10 loss to Green Bay on Friday. In his first game action in nearly 10 months, Kaepernick completed 2 of 6 passes for 14 yards.
