Ex-49ers QB Colin Kaepernick briefly listed as retired on NFL's website

The NFL's website listed Colin Kaepernick as retired Friday.

That would appear to be news to the former 49ers quarterback.

Nessa, a radio host in New York and Kaepernick's longtime girlfriend, blasted the league and argued that the NFL -- not Kaepernick -- decided the QB would no longer play.

The @NFL @nflcommish @NFLPA lying on their NFL website claiming @Kaepernick7 “retired.” Colin did NOT retire. You cowards blackballed him bc he peacefully protested against police brutality. He’s a Superbowl QB & should be playing bc his stats show that.
