Colin Kaepernick addressed his role for Sunday's Week 9 game against the Atlanta Falcons.
"I'm still preparing for Atlanta," Kaepernick told reporters on Friday. "I'm still mentally focused and locked in."
The San Francisco 49ers have made a change at quarterback. Kaepernick will be the backup behind Blaine Gabbert on Sunday.
But to Kaepernick, the team's starter since Week 10 of the 2012 regular season, nothing will change in terms of his preparation. When asked if he's being blamed for San Francisco's 2-6 start, Kaepernick didn't want to get into the topic.
