49ers QB C.J. Beathard cleared, but Nick Mullens will start vs. Raiders

After two days of not being able to grip a football, C.J. Beathard will suit up Thursday night against the Raiders, but Nick Mullens will be the 49ers' starting quarterback against the Raiders, the team confirmed.

The 49ers made several roster moves in preparation for the game at Levi’s Stadium. The team released Tom Savage, which means the 49ers will enter the game with Beathard and Mullens as their active quarterbacks.
