Rookie C.J. Beathard will remain the San Francisco 49ers' quarterback for Sunday's game against the Seattle Seahawks, coach Kyle Shanahan announced Wednesday.
It was thought the 49ers, coming off their bye week, might turn to Jimmy Garoppolo as the starter this week but Shanahan said the former New England Patriots quarterback is still learning the offense.
The 49ers traded a 2018 second-round draft pick to New England before the trade deadline to acquire Garoppolo.
Beathard earned his first NFL victory in Week 10 when he led the 49ers to a 31-21 victory over the New York Giants.
