Former 49ers defensive lineman Justin Smith joins ‘The Audible’ to discuss his impressive career and the state of the team under Chip Kelly.

Colin Kaepernick threw dozens of passes on the side during the 49ers’ joint practice Thursday with the Denver Broncos, signaling the quarterback’s return from a sore passing shoulder.

Giants right-hander Matt Cain has been placed on the 15-day disabled list with a lower back strain, a day after he allowed six runs over 4 2-3 innings in a 6-5 loss to Pittsburgh.
