Colin Kaepernick not participating in team drills at start of #49ers practice. Training staff worked on right arm/shoulder this week.
The team called it a "planned day of rest" for the quarterback. Kaepernick spent the day mirroring the quarterbacks behind the line of scrimmage, much as he did prior to June's minicamp during the team's offseason program.

Kaepernick is one of the players that is scheduled to meet with the media following Friday's practice.
