49ers Splitting QB Reps Evenly Between Gabbert, Kaepernick

Jul 31, 2016 7:12 PM

Colin Kaepernick and Blaine Gabbert are splitting reps at quarterback evenly for the San Francisco 49ers.

"We are going to split it right down the middle. I think we've got 24 reps today with the ones," Kelly said. "So (Colin Kaepernick) and Blaine (Gabbert) will split it right down the middle with the ones and twos."

Some believe Gabbert enters camp as the more likely starter for the 49ers.

Kaepernick, who underwent offseason surgeries on his right thumb and left knee in January after having left shoulder surgery in November, has a skill set that would seem to be ideal in Kelly's offense. But Gabbert has been more accurate in his career.

According to a source, the San Francisco 49ers met with Dr. Peter Millett, who performed Kaepernick's November shoulder surgery, in Vail, Colorado. Millett put Kaepernick through a series of tests, all of which he passed.

The quarterback is expected to be examined by 49ers team doctors on Saturday before the first training camp practice Sunday.
