San Francisco 49ers quarterback
Colin Kaepernick met with the media following practice today. Beat writer Ryan Sakamoto of
Niner Fans posted some videos of the interview on Twitter.
"It's great to be back out there," said Kaepernick. "It's great to be back practicing with my teammates, getting ready for this next game."
Kaepernick returned to practicing fully with his teammates this week. He had been dealing with a muscle issue in his throwing shoulder since August 10, which was also the last time he had practiced fully. Kaepernick was asked about his shoulder and if there have been any issues with it.
"Yeah, everything's been going great," said Kaepernick. "Everything's been going as planned so excited to get out there this Friday."
"When I go out there though, I'll be ready to compete and to compete as long as (head coach Chip Kelly) lets me," said Kaepernick when asked about how much action he would like to see on Friday if he gets to play.
Kaepernick was asked if he still believes that he has a fair shot to win the quarterback competition. "Yeah, most definitely," he said. "I mean, I'm going to go out, show everything I can these next two games and make sure I put my best foot forward to show this organization, this team, this coaching staff what I'm capable of."
Kaepernick went on to say that he is still working to get his tinted visor approved by the league. However, it is his understanding that he will be able to use it in Friday's preseason game if he plays.
He was asked if the team treated his injury fairly. "Once again, I'm not getting into all of the specifics or anything like that," answered Kaepernick. "We're focusing on football and my focus right now is this game on Friday."
When asked to characterize the conversation that he had with general manager Trent Baalke, Kaepernick simply stated, "It was a conversation." Baalke had previously described it as a "good conversation." In regards to his relationship with his general manager, Kaepernick said, "We have a business relationship. That's the point where we're at."

49ers Notebook: Deebo is no longer "awful"; Ronnie Bell makes a splash; J.J. Watt praises Niners; Captain Andrew Luck makes Levi's cameo
Thursday night was a fun one at Levi's Stadium, where the San Francisco 49ers cruised to a 30-12 victory over the visiting New York Giants. It was a night that saw wide receiver Deebo Samuel declare himself as officially out of "awful" mode, running back Christian McCaffrey reach milestones, wide receiver Ronnie Bell create some lasting memories, and -- of all things -- Andrew Luck making a return to an NFL field (in full Civil War costume) to take part in a game of trivia.
Let's recap all that and more in this version of 49ers Notebook.
Not awful anymore

Key stats from the 49ers' 30-12 Week 3 win vs. the Giants
The San Francisco 49ers improved to 3-0 on the season after a 30-12 Week 3 win over the New York Giants at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California.

49ers demolish Giants in Week 3 victory: Key takeaways
It's hard to think of the New York Giants without some painful postseason memories. And that's why it's always so sweet to beat them soundly. And the San Francisco 49ers did just that on Thursday night, winning 30-12, and improving to 3-0 on the season.
Although the score was relatively close at halftime, it wasn't as close statistically. And by the end of the game, it was even more lopsided—on the scoreboard and on the stat sheet. When you have more YAC (yards after the catch/contact) than the other team has total yards, you've thoroughly beaten your opponent.
The Giants had 150 yards of total
