SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- Colin Kaepernick will get one more chance to impress coach Chip Kelly before the San Francisco 49ers announce their starting quarterback even as the debate surrounding Kaepernicks refusal to stand for the national anthem remains heated.Kelly said Tuesday that Kaepernick will play in the teams final exhibition game Thursday night in San Diego after missing the first two preseason games with a tired shoulder. This will be Kaepernicks first game since he spoke publicly over his anthem protest, saying he wont stand during the anthem because of what he described as oppression of minorities in the United States.The 49ers declined to comment on whether there will be increased security in place for the game in San Diego when Kaepernick has said he once again will sit during the national anthem.Blaine Gabbert, who is also in the running for the starting job, wont play because he has gotten 30 more plays in the preseason and Kelly does not need to evaluate him further.Kelly said he will pick a starter for the regular season opener against Los Angeles on Sept. 12 sometime after Thursday nights game. He said Kaepernick remains one of his two best quarterbacks.Despite that, Kelly said general manager Trent Baalke will make the final call on whether Kaepernick remains on the teams roster after the cut to 53 players on Saturday.Its not up to me, Kelly said. Any decisions on this team are made through everybody. I do not have control of the 53-man roster. I dont sit there and say this is the 53 were picking. Its a group effort.Kelly said he wasnt sure how many quarterbacks the team will keep for the regular season. Rookie Jeff Driskel and Christian Ponder are the other two quarterbacks on the roster.Kelly said the swirling drama around Kaepernicks protest hasnt hindered the team as it prepares for the new season despite an increased media attention since Kaepernicks stance became public on Saturday.When you talk to our players, theyre focused on the 2016 season and how good a team the San Francisco 49ers can be, Kelly said. As we said all along, we recognize his right to express his feelings, but that doesnt affect what we do from when we get here at 8:15 in the morning and leave at 8 oclock at night.Perhaps the bigger issue when it comes to Kaepernicks status on the team has been his declining play. After leading the team to the Super Bowl following the 2012 season and getting back to the NFC championship game the following year, Kaepernicks play has regressed.He ended up losing his starting job to Gabbert midway through last season and then underwent three operations in the offseason on his non-throwing shoulder, right thumb and left knee. He couldnt participate in the offseason program and lost weight during his rehabilitation.Kaepernick then missed nearly two weeks of training camp with a tired shoulder and was ineffective in his first appearance of the preseason last Friday night against Green Bay.Kaepernicks protest has drawn reaction from around the world from athletes, politicians and others. Hall of Fame running back Jim Brown, a civil rights activist during his career, told NFL Network that Kaepernick makes all the sense in the world and that he stands behind him 100 percent.But Brown also said he would not choose to protest in this manner.Now if you ask me, `Would I do that? No I wont, because I see it a little differently, he said. Im an American citizen, I pay my taxes, I want my equal rights but this is my country, and consequently I dont want to open up for ISIS or anybody that will take away what weve already gained.Hall of Fame basketball player Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, another activist from the 1960s, said it is more concerning that the country still faces many of the same issues that athletes like himself, Brown, boxer Muhammad Ali, and Olympic sprinters Tommie Smith and John Carlos protested nearly a half-century ago.What should horrify Americans is not Kaepernicks choice to remain seated during the national anthem, but that nearly 50 years after Ali was banned from boxing for his stance and Tommie Smith and John Carloss raised fists caused public ostracization and numerous death threats, we still need to call attention to the same racial inequities, Abdul-Jabbar wrote in the Washington Post on Tuesday. Failure to fix this problem is whats really un-American here.Game notesThe Niners placed WE Bruce Ellington on IR with a hamstring injury and released LB Jason Fanaika to get down to the 75-man roster limit.---Online:AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFLRyan Kalil Womens Jersey .500 on the season. The Jets are now 0-5-1 in the second game of back-to-backs.

Wieters had asked for $8.75 million and the Orioles had offered $6.Joe Root is the star attraction in Sky Sports first live county action of the summer.The England batsman returns to Yorkshires team for the first time in 2016 for the County Championship encounter with Nottinghamshire, live on Sky Sports 2 from 10.30am on Sunday.Root is looking to build on another sensational few months for England, which saw him finish as their top run-scorer at the World T20, with 249 runs across his six innings at a strike-rate of 146.47, including a staggering 83 from 44 balls in a record run chase of 230 against South Africa.Roots attention now returns to the longer format ahead of another busy Test summer, Englands first Test against Sri Lanka getting underway at Headingley on Thursday, May 19.But he isnt the only one who will be using Sundays game at Trent Bridge as ideal preparation for that first Test - Jonny Bairstow, Stuart Broad and Alex Hales are also set to feature. Jonny Bairstow says hes feeling positive after scoring a double ton for Yorkshire Bairstow has again been in fine form for Yorkshire following an outstanding 2015 that saw him recalled to the Test team, striking a career-best first class score of 246 against Hampshire.In the opposing dressing-room, Hales, like Root, sees his first county cricket action of the summer having been granted an extended break, while Broad will be hoping for a greater impact than just the three wickets he managed inn Notts defeat to Lancashire.dddddddddddd.Looking to oust Hales as England opener is Yorkshires Adam Lyth, who, too, hit a hundred against Hampshire - he held Hales spot this time last year, but lost it after a tough Ashes series which saw him average only 12.77. Alex Hales will be looking to lock in his England openers spot Lyths Headingley team-mate Gary Ballance is another looking to earn back a place for England, hoping to perhaps fill in at number five in the order, the spot vacated by James Taylor after his cricketing career was cut short when diagnosed with a rare heart condition.Ryan Sidebottom is another former England international who could feature, although the 38-year-olds international career is well behind him, and he left the field with hamstring trouble when into only his sixth over of Yorkshires tussle with Warwickshire this week.If Sidebottom fails to prove his fitness in time for Sunday, it could mean a first Yorkshire start for fellow left-arm-seamer David Willey, an arrival from Northamptonshire during the close season. Will David Willey earn his first Championship start for Yorkshire? Willey is one of a possible five England World T20 squad members who could play, with Root, Hales, Adil Rashid and Liam Plunkett - who also spanked an 82-ball hundred against Hampshire - the others.Further English interest is provided by Notts men Michael Lumb, Samit Patel, Chris Read and Harry Gurney, while outside bets for a first international call-up are Yorkshire seamer Jack Brooks and Nottinghamshire pacer Jake Ball.Watch all above the above in action in what is set to be a thrilling County Championship clash between Nottinghamshire and Yorkshire.
