Something is really strange about this.
Kaepernick was listed as probable as of yesterday, today he is on IR, but come to find out that Kap told the 49ers about his injury a long time ago, but the 49ers didn’t do much about it.
Kaepernick hurt the shoulder the shoulder in an Oct. 4 loss to the Green Bay Packers, possibly on a hit from Green Bay Packers linebacker Clay Matthews after a read-option handoff. The 49ers medical staff was made aware of the injury after the game.
The 49ers at that point decided a MRI wasn’t necessary for some reason and let the injury linger past the bye week.
Only then did the 49ers take any action.
Eventually an MRI was ordered once Kaepernick returned from last weekend’s bye with his shoulder throbbing, sources said.
Kaepernick’s shoulder issue first appeared on the 49ers’ injury report this week. He practiced fully all week, though quarterbacks are off-limits from contact.
Kaepernick then on his own decided to get a 2nd opinion.
Kaepernick self-reported the injury Monday, prompting the 49ers to send him for an MRI exam, and when the shoulder soreness persisted Friday, he said he wanted to explore his options, team spokesman Bob Lange said.
Kaepernick had sought a second opinion Thursday from Dr. Peter Millet at the renown Steadman Clinic in Vail, Colo., and Millet diagnosed a “significant” tear in the left shoulder, to which 49ers lead orthopedist Tim McAdams subsequently concurred, a source said.
Just very very strange.
It is almost like they felt Kaepernick was faking, I am sure there will be a lot more coming out about this.
