As Colin Kaepernick’s audition continues for the next three games, there’s one 49ers quarterback no one talks about. Chad Lewis was signed after a year backing up Chip Kelly’s quarterbacks in Philadelphia.

Two days later, he had surgery and was placed on season-ending injured reserve.
“I am feeling good,” Lewis said on Tuesday after taking a break from his ongoing rehab.
