Ontheair agentsinMarch,although Kaepernick would have to either get released or trig- ger an out clause to nullify the final year of a contract revised in October. Kaepernick keyed Satur- day's 22-21, comeback win at the Los Angeles Rams by producing two touchdown drives in the final six min- utes and running for the go-ahead, two-point con- version. Kaepernick has com- pleted 57.7 percent of his passes (179 of 310) for 2,026 yards with 15 touchdowns, four interceptions, 31 sacks and an 88.2 passer rating. While he ranks seventh in 49ers history in most passing categories (yards, attempts, completions, touchdowns), his 1.8 inter- ception percentage is the best among their 20 quar- terbacks who've thrown for the most passing yards. • Jeremy Kerley, the 49ers leading receiver, is among 17 players head- ing for unrestricted free agency; that list does not include Kaepernick. "I would love to come back," Kerley said. "I like Chip a lot, and everything's got to work out right." Rod Streater, who caught a last-minute touch- down in last Saturday's win at Los Angeles, also is a pending free agent who arrived via trade five days after Kerley. They each had four receptions over the fi- nal two touchdown drives. "Kerley and Streater did a really nice job, especially from when they came in," Kelly said, reflecting on the preseason trades. "It's in- teresting, all the guys that are playing here weren't with us last year." The wide receiver corps for Sunday's season finale is rounded out by first- year players Chris Harper, Aaron Burbridge and De- Andre Smelter. Torrey Smith, Quinton Patton, Bruce Ellington and Eric Rogers are on injured re- serve. "When you go through OTAs and everything we did, none of the guys that are playing for us right now were even here for any of that stuff," Kelly added. Other unresticted free agents are kicker Phil Daw- son; running back Shaun Draughn; linebackers Ger- ald Hodges, Michael Wil- hoite and Nick Bellore; defensive linemen Glenn Dorsey, Chris Jones and Tony Jerod-Eddie; tight end Jim Dray; and, offen- sive linemen Andrew Til- ler and Andrew Gardner. Restricted free agents are running back DuJuan Har- ris and defensive back Mar- cus Cromartie, while nose tackle Mike Purcell and linebacker Carl Bradford are exclusive rights free agents. • Team CEO Jed York spoke informally with re- porters outside the locker room Thursday, without indicating what if any changes the 49ers have planned. York said he'll formally talk to the media next week, for the first time since the season opener. • Left tackle Joe Staley appears on track to re- turn from a hamstring in- jury that sidelined him the past three games. Offen- sive linemen Marcus Mar- tin and Andrew Tiller did not practice because of an- kle injuries. • Assured of finishing last in the NFC, the 49ers staff would be in line to coach at the Reese's Se- nior Bowl on Jan. 28 in Mo- bile, Alabama. "We haven't given it any thought," Kelly said. "I don't know what goes into that, to be hon- est with you." 49ers FROM PAGE 1 mentary of what he saw from Washington even when he wasn't getting playing time. "He worked and he stayed ready, and I thought there was just a little bit of urgency," Del Rio said. "I think that's the beauti- ful thing about it, when a guy responds. And it wasn't like we didn't want him up. We just had choices we had to make, but I think he wanted to make sure that he really put in a little ex- tra and let it be known that he really wanted to be part of that active group." Murray also recognized how Washington didn't get too down. "He's been a hard worker since the day he got here," Murray said. "I was ex- tremely happy for him, to have a good showing like that and it to pay off. I know he's not done. I know he wants a lot more. I ex- pect him to. I think we all do. That's the sense of ur- gency we need to have at that position for all of us so we can get this run game going even better." The Raiders were at one time on pace to have all three backs rush for 500- plus yards. Now, it would take another big game from Washington to do so. He's third on the team with 424 yards and a strong 5.3 per carry average. Murray leads the team with 777 yards and Richard has 488. After having the league's 28th ranked rushing attack last season, the Raiders are fifth this year at 124.3 yards per game. With Matt McGloin replacing the in- jured Derek Carr at quar- terback, the expectation is for the Raiders to lean on the ground game even more. That's what the Broncos think they'll see in Sunday's regular season fi- nale in Denver. "We expect a big run game," Denver cornerback Chris Harris Jr. said on a conference call. "We ex- pect them to try to come out and start pounding us like they did the first time." With Washington back involved, the Raiders have their three-headed attack ready to go and Wash- ington isn't ready for his rookie season to end. "A lot of ups and down, a lot of fun," he said of this year. "The best part is be- ing on a winning team in this atmosphere with the Raider Nation. It's been more so exciting than any- thing. Hopefully we're not done yet and we can have this conversation six weeks down the road in Houston." Raiders FROM PAGE 1 The unit that faces North Carolina on Friday will be essentially the same that takes on USC, Wash- ington and Notre Dame in the fall. "It will be a challenge to find a counter-punch, be- cause (without McCaffrey) they won't have someone who can get 30 carries," Cardinal radio analyst and former quarterback Todd Husak said. "Who knows. Maybe they'll throw the ball more." The power running game will remain at the core of Stanford's exis- tence, not only for the Sun Bowl but also next sea- son. (As coach David Shaw said: "The offense hasn't changed in the last five years.") But a slight uptick in the aerial attack seems likely, if only to take advan- tage of playmakers on the perimeter such as Trenton Irwin and J.J. Arcega-Wh- iteside. Just how much tweaking takes place in the post-Mc- Caffrey era seemingly will depend on opponent, game flow and quarterback play. To that end, the Sun Bowl serves as Keller Chryst's first career start without No. 5 lined up be- hind him. Chryst's effi- ciency will shape the po- sition for the offseason: If sharp, he'll enter spring practice as the clear favor- ite for the starting job in '17. But if he struggles in El Paso, uncertainty could return — and possibly an opening for former starter Ryan Burns. "We've got a bunch of playmakers besides Chris- tian that we have ready to use," said Chryst, who started the final five games of the regular season. "We feel goodabouteverything." Stanford's situation this week is not unprecedented: McCaffrey missed the mid-October trip to Notre Dame, an ugly affair that nonetheless should provide clues to the Cardinal's ap- proach against North Car- olina. In South Bend, Stanford turned the offense over to sophomore tailback Bryce Love, who gained 129 yards on 23 carries and scored the winning touchdown early in the fourth quarter. Love should have at least 20 carries Friday, as well, with redshirt freshman Cameron Scarlett as the backup. Stanford FROM PAGE 1 Rousey's media blackout, realizing it could cost the promotion untold numbers of pay-per-view buys. "It's definitely not ideal," UFC President Dana White said of Rousey's decision. "It's what she asked for." Instead, Rousey ex- pressed her thanks in an Instagram post moments after the weigh-in. "Looking forward to proving you all right to- morrow," Rousey said. "It's going to be the happiest New Year ever." Rousey has a nascent acting career and innumer- able endorsements, but her celebrity still hasn't out- stripped her athletic ac- complishments, as it did for fellow women's MMA trailblazer Gina Carano. Rousey could have walked away from the sport al- ready, but the Olympic medalist's willingness to return underlines her de- termination to get back on top. The women's bantam- weight belt has changed hands three times in the last 13 months, and no- body has successfully de- fended it. Holm lost the belt when Miesha Tate choked her unconscious in March, and Tate lost the ti- tle when Nunes brutalized her at UFC 200 in July. Holm is now a feather- weight, and Tate has re- tired. Nunes is getting her career-defining shot at Rousey, whose status as one of the world's most fa- mous female athletes has scarcely waned despite her decision to take a year off from competition. Rousey clearly doesn't scare Nunes.
