Colin Kaepernick to start vs Jets after benching in Chicago
SANTA CLARA, Calif. — Colin Kaepernick is keeping his starting job after getting benched during one of the worst performances of his career.
Niners offensive coordinator Curtis Modkins said Tuesday that the embattled quarterback will start when San Francisco (1-11) hosts the Jets (3-9) on Sunday. Kaepernick completed just one pass in three quarters in a 26-6 loss to the Bears on Sunday.
Kaepernick was removed from the game for Blaine Gabbert in the fourth quarter after taking five sacks and completing one pass, which came midway through the second quarter.
