The San Francisco 49ers placed Colin Kaepernick on injured reserve Saturday, ending the quarterback's disappointing 2015 season.
Kaepernick, who was on the injury report Friday, told the 49ers that he wanted to have surgery on his non-throwing shoulder, prompting the team to put him on IR, a source told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter.
The Niners originally had listed Kaepernick as probable for Sunday's game against the Seattle Seahawks. Undrafted rookie quarterback Dylan Thompson was promoted from San Francisco's practice squad Saturday to replace Kaepernick on the active roster.
