Kyle Shanahan: No Discussion on Colin Kaepernick After Jimmy Garoppolo Injury

Don't expect to see Colin Kaepernick in a San Francisco 49ers uniform again even though starting quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo is out for the season.

According to Cam Inman of the Bay Area News Group, 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said, "No," when asked if there were any discussions about bringing the former signal-caller back. "There was (discussion) last year. I made that decision because of the style of offense. That's the same situation now."

Shanahan went on to say C.J. Beathard "is our guy," while Nick Mullens is the backup.

This comes after the team announced an MRI confirmed Garoppolo suffered a season-ending ACL tear during Sunday's loss to the Kansas City Chiefs.
