Colin Kaepernick lands on 49ers injury report

Share

SANTA CLARA – Quarterback Colin Kaepernick appeared on the 49ers’ participation report with a neck condition despite taking part in the team’s full practice on Thursday.

Any player who receives treatment from the team’s medical staff or athletic trainers must be noted on the injury report. Kaepernick’s availability for Sunday’s game against the Atlanta Falcons does not appear to be in question.

The 49ers will not have the services of wide receiver Torrey Smith, who has not advanced through the NFL return-to-play protocol after being knocked out and sustaining a concussion Sunday against the New York Jets.

”I don’t remember anything,” Smith said Thursday. “That’s just one of the things that comes with it. But as long as I’m feeling better, each and every day, that’s all I’m going to concentrate on right now.”

Smith sustained the injury when he fell hard on his left shoulder and head after attempting to catch a downfield pass from Kaepernick. Smith said he does not remember getting emotional after the injury.

“Apparently, I was crying there (on the field); apparently, I was crying in here (in the locker room) about how frustrated I was,” Smith said. “I don’t remember anything.

“It’s pretty scary. But things are better. They’re making sure that I’m taking the right steps. But odds of me playing are probably slim. It probably wouldn’t look too good being that I was knocked out anyways, being on the field. I’m not ready to go.”
