49ers keep Colin Kaepernick as 1 of 3 quarterbacks on roster (Yahoo Sports)

Colin Kaepernick survived San Francisco's roster cuts on Saturday when the 49ers determined that his ability as a quarterback more than offset any potential distraction over his refusal to stand during the national anthem. The 49ers announced that Kaepernick, Blaine Gabbert and Christian Ponder will be the team's three quarterbacks to start their first season with Chip Kelly as coach.
