>>Harbaugh To Name Starting QB Mid-Week

(Santa Clara, CA) -- San Francisco 49ers head coach Jim Harbaugh will reportedly name his starting quarterback for this week's game on Wednesday. Colin Kaepernick got the start in place of Alex Smith last week despite the fact Smith was medically cleared to play following a concussion. On Monday, Harbaugh referred to Smith as his starter even though Kaepernick played in Sunday's win over the Saints. Kaepernick was not told he was starting until Harbaugh made the announcement in a private team meeting on Saturday night. The Niners take on the Rams in St. Louis this Sunday.
