49ers apologize for omitting Kaepernick from gallery celebrating history

The San Francisco 49ers issued an apology after omitting Colin Kaepernick from a photo gallery which marked key moments in team history against the Green Bay Packers.

Ahead of this week's upcoming game against the Packers, the 49ers commemorated several moments, but failed to include Kaepernick's historic performance in the 2012 playoffs, where he rushed for a quarterback-record 181 yards and two touchdowns while throwing for 263 yards and two more scores. Kaepernick also helped the 49ers defeat the Packers the following postseason.

"Unfortunately there were a handful of obvious misses in this gallery posted by our website team and we appreciate them being brought to our attention," the 49ers said in a statement. "The 49ers organization has tremendous respect and gratitude for the contributions Colin made to our team over the years."

Kaepernick has been a free agent for the past two seasons after opting out of his contract with the 49ers in March 2017.

"We have fond memories of those games and that should have been displayed on our website," the team said. "This oversight does not properly reflect the appreciation our ownership and this team have for Colin."
