The San Francisco 49ers placed Colin Kaepernick on injured reserve Saturday, ending the quarterback's disappointing 2015 season.
Kaepernick was on the team's injury report Friday with a left shoulder injury but was listed as probable for Sunday's game against the Seattle Seahawks.
The last-place 49ers (3-6), who had a bye last week, benched Kaepernick for their Nov. 8 game in favor of Blaine Gabbert, who helped lead San Francisco to an upset victory over the Atlanta Falcons.
Kaepernick, 28, completed 59 percent of his passes this season for 1,615 yards, six touchdowns and five interceptions.
