Kaepernick Played Through Foot Injury For Most Of 2013

Colin Kaepernick played through a foot injury in 2013.

Kaepernick revealed to The Sacramento Bee this week that he suffered a chipped bone on his forefoot and a ruptured capsule in the ball of his foot when a Seahawks defender landed on it in a Week 2 loss at Seattle.

After rushing for 87 yards against the Seahawks, Kaepernick didn't clear 20 yards on the ground again for more than a month.

"I noticed it, especially in practice," Jim Harbaugh said in March of Kaepernick's limited mobility. "I think anytime you have a foot, a hand or a finger, it affects you throwing and running."

There's always an excuse for middle of the road players.

He also said in the press-conference the injury wasn't a factor, so this isn't really an excuse as much as him just stating he had an injury.

This seems to be a trend. Any reason for coming out with this news a year later?

Not to let opponents know where to target you at. If teams knew he had a broken foot etc. they would have tried there hardest to target it as much as possible.
