Colin Kaepernick thinks he can wear tinted visor Friday, NFL says not without approval

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick has been wearing a tinted visor in practice, and on Wednesday he said he expects to wear it on Friday against the Green Bay Packers. However, there might be a delay in when he can start wearing the visor in a game.

Kaepernick said at the start of training camp that he was applying to wear the visor. On Wednesday he said he was still working on it, but it was his understanding that he can wear a tinted visor in the preseason without the paperwork filed.

The NFL appears to be saying not so fast.
