NFL training camps have started and former 49ers’ quarterback Colin Kaepernick still doesn’t have a new home.
That could change, though, if the Baltimore Ravens’ prayers are answered in a way that would make team owner Steve Bisctiotti open to signing Kaepernick in the immediate future.
On Sunday, Bisciotti spoke alongside NFL commissioner Roger Goodell and addressed the team’s quarterback situation, which is temporarily uncertain due to an injury that will reportedly keep starter Joe Flacco out for the next month.
Bisciotti asked fans to “pray for us” as the franchise debates whether it should sign Kaepernick to help the team withstand the loss of Flacco.
Bisciotti on Kap reax: “We’re sensitive to it, we’re monitoring it, and we’re trying to figure out what’s the right tact. So pray for us.”

With Flacco out, Ryan Mallett is currently taking first-team reps for the Baltimore Ravens, and the team has reportedly worked out Robert Griffin III.
Earlier this week, the Ravens signed former Clemson quarterback David Olson, who most recently played for the KC Phantoms of the Championship Indoor Football League. After signing Olson, Baltimore coach John Harbaugh indicated the team would still be interested in bringing in Kaepernick, but said it depends on Kaepernick’s passion, priorities and “what he wants to do.”
On Sunday morning, Jeff Zrebiec of The Baltimore Sun reported that owner Steve Bisciotti did not like Kaepernick’s protests of the national anthem that took place during his time with the 49ers in 2016.
Bisciotti said he didn’t like Kaepernicks anthem protest. Bisciotti said he’s not sure Kap will help team win games.
