What It Means:

McGloin will assume the backup quarterback job to Tom Savage in Week 9.

The team has also not ruled out signing another quarterback and have reportedly had mild interest in working out free agent Colin Kaepernick.

In 13 career games played, McGloin has a completion percentage of 58.1% while throwing 11 touchdowns and 11 interceptions.
