However, QB Colin Kaepernick has taken a majority of the first-team snaps in practice, which could be an indication he will be making his second career NFL start in Week 12 against the New Orleans Saints. There have been reports during the week that Smith will not start, even if healthy, although Harbaugh continues to say he will not divulge a starting QB just yet.
- Updating a previous report, San Francisco 49ers head coach Jim Harbaugh said Friday, Nov. 23, that he expects QB Alex Smith (concussion) to be medically cleared to play by Saturday, Nov. 24.

- San Francisco 49ers head coach Jim Harbaugh said that reports he's told QB Colin Kaepernick he's starting in Week 12 are not factual and offered no comment when asked if Kaepernick or QB Alex Smith (concussion) knew who the starter would be. "We feel like there's no competitive advantage for us to release that information for our organization and our team," Harbaugh said. "Like any position, we don't get into what the roles going to be and how we're going to use it."
