On the 49ers podcast with Jeremiah:

#1 Jeremiah with the injury to 49ers quarterback Nick Mullens who most likely will need Tommy John surgery the 49ers will see quarterback CJ Beathard start. Beathard did get into last Sunday’s game in Dallas after Mullens left throwing 100 yards and one touchdown.

#2 Beathard has been trying to get the starting job on the 49ers since 2017 but with Jimmy Garoppolo holding the position and after his injuries Nick Mullens would fill in Beathard would have to wait. Fast forward to this season the opportunity comes for Beathard with just two regular season game remaining this season.

#3 Beathard said he’s excited for a chance to get under center and play the entire game as he and the 49ers faced the Arizona Cardinals at State Farm Stadium this Saturday.

#4 Beathard says he’s an improved quarterback than the quarterback he was back in 2017-18. Beathard says he’s stronger physically and can get rid of the ball quicker and believes he’s quicker in the pocket and can cut down on the number 35 sacks he took in his ten start during the 2017-18 season.

#5 Jeremiah  tight end George Kittle returned today for the first time in six games. Kittle has been on the team’s three week window in trying to make a return. I know head coach Kyle Shanahan will be watching him in practice carefully.
