Nick Mullens will be tasked with leading the San Francisco 49ers offense against the New York Giants in Week 10.
Mullens said 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan told him of the decision on Tuesday, per Matt Barrows of The Athletic.
Beathard was sidelined in Week 9 against the Oakland Raiders due to a wrist injury, which allowed Mullens to get the start. Mullens proceeded to throw for 262 yards and three touchdowns in a 34-3 win.
Shanahan's decision to hand the reins back to Mullens shouldn't come as much of a surprise.
