SANTA CLARA -- The 49ers are midway through the preseason. They must trim their roster from 90 to 75 players on Aug. 30. Four days later, they must further reduce it to 53. Here’s where things stand with every position group. The players who appear to be locks for the roster are in bold.
Quarterback: Blaine Gabbert, Colin Kaepernick
It's looking more and more as if the 49ers will enter the season with Blaine Gabbert as the starter and Colin Kaepernick as the backup*. The question is whether rookie Jeff Driskel also makes the roster.
