SANTA CLARA — 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday that Nick Mullens will be his starting quarterback will be for his team’s Week 13 game against the Seattle Seahawks.
“We’re playing this year out with (Mullens) and (C.J. Beathard) and we’ll see how games go,” Shanahan said. “We’re going to do everything we can to win a game. I know we’re preparing with Nick and if he ever struggled I’d bring in C.J. We’ll see how it goes.”
Mullens was underwhelming in his first road start Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, completing 18 of 32 passes for 221 yards in the 49ers’ 27-9 loss.
