The San Francisco 49ers and Colin Kaepernick met last week with the team saying they remain open to bringing him back in 2016.

Kaepernick is due a guaranteed $11.9 million if he is still on the Niners' roster on April 1.

The timetable for Kaepernick's recovery is expected to be four to six months.

Blaine Gabbert has played for the 49ers at quarterback in Kaepernick's absence.
