The Facts: Colin Kaepernick's roster spot is safe in San Francisco, but he won't be the starter. The veteran QB made the team's 53-man lineup, but HC Chip Kelly announced Saturday that Gabbert will serve as starting quarterback against the Rams in Week 1.

Diehards Line: Kaepernick will play the No. 2 role ahead of Christian Ponder. It comes as little surprise that Kaepernick made the club. He played relatively well in Thursday's preseason finale, guiding the team on a 16-play touchdown drive and showing better arm strength than the previous week. Gabbert, though, spent nearly the entire offseason running Kelly's attack while Kaepernick nursed multiple injuries. Kaepernick's sparse on-field work has been completely overshadowed by his controversial decision to sit during the playing of the national anthem. The question going forward is how much playing time -- if any -- Kaepernick receives in 2016.
