49ers, Broncos choose starting QBs for Saturday preseason game

Two of the three NFL teams with ongoing quarterback battles, the San Francisco 49ers and Denver Broncos, will meet in Denver on Saturday, and each squad’s coach had an important update Thursday for fans looking for clues on who will win the job.

For the second straight week, 49ers coach Chip Kelly ruled out Colin Kaepernick, who has arm fatigue. In Denver, Mark Sanchez started the Broncos’ preseason opener, so coach Gary Kubiak told reporters second-year pro Trevor Siemian will get a run with the starters this time around.

Kubiak was asked whether he’d like to decide who will be Denver’s starter after this weekend’s game.

“Yes. Will I? I don’t know,” he told reporters.

So if you’re looking for complete clarity, watch Broncos-49ers on Saturday and then be prepared to keep on waiting to find out who will get the nod when the games are real in Week 1.
