SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — Alex Smith is the San Francisco 49ers’ starting quarterback yet again.
Coach Mike Singletary made the announcement on his regular KNBR radio show Tuesday morning and the team later tweeted a reference to it. The move comes a day after Singletary said he was contemplating the switch from Troy Smith back to the 2005 No. 1 overall draft pick following a 34-16 loss at Green Bay on Sunday. The 49ers (4-8) face a must-win game at home Sunday against NFC West rival Seattle.
Alex Smith dislocated his non-throwing left shoulder Oct. 24 at Carolina and hasn’t played since, despite being medically cleared several weeks ago.
Singletary has said he will pick a starting QB each week.
