Colin Kaepernick has cast removed for torn thumb ligament

Colin Kaepernick has been rehabbing his various ailments in Vail, Colorado, and there would appear to be some progress. Kaepernick has surgery on his right thumb, left shoulder, and left knee dating back to November. Kaepernick was seen wearing a black cast on his right hand at a Camp Taylor fundraiser over the weekend, but Matt Barrows is reporting he had the cast removed on Wednesday.

The thumb and knee are issues, but the shoulder sounds like the injury that will have the longest recovery time. The thought is that he will be recovered by April.
