SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — Colin Kaepernick is on track to make his first appearance of the preseason for San Francisco on Friday night against the Green Bay Packers after his tired shoulder made it through a full week of practice without any limitations.
"You just have to make the most of your opportunity," he said. "Rather than getting eight reps a period, you get four with the ones,Adidas Shoes On Sale Cheap, four with the twos. ... Each rep is a piece of gold. You have to cherish that and make the most of that opportunity."
But Kaepernick believes he still has a legitimate shot to win back his starting job.
Kelly said Kaepernick has had no limitations this week in practice and is quickly getting up to speed with the offense.
"He's been sharp with all the things mentally," Kelly said. "There's always a little bit — when you take some time off from the physical standpoint — there may be a ball that was behind from a timing standpoint, but there's no indecision where he doesn't know where he's going."
Kaepernick, who lost his starting job to Gabbert last season, has had limited practice time. He missed the offseason program after undergoing surgery during the offseason on his non-throwing shoulder, right thumb and left knee. He resumed practice at the start of training camp but was not able to throw in practice from Aug. 11 to Aug. 22 because of a tired right shoulder.

Kelly said the final decision on who will start and who will play won't be made until after consulting with the team's head of sports medicine Jeff Ferguson on Friday.

"I'm going to go out and show everything I can these next two games to make sure I put my best foot forward to show this organization, this team, this coaching staff what I'm capable of," he said.
He lost his starting job last season, dealt with various injuries and was nearly traded to Denver in the offseason. When asked about the state of his relationship with general manager Trent Baalke, Kaepernick would only call it a "business relationship."

"Everything has been going great,Cheap Hockey Jerseys 2019," Kaepernick said Wednesday. "Everything has been going as planned. I'm excited to get back out there Friday."
