Nick Mullens – Important
QB Nick Mullens will be the 49ers’ starting quarterback on Monday night against the Giants.
Mullens told reporters Tuesday that 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan informed Mullens that he will start Monday’s game.
Mullens took first-team reps in practice Tuesday, followed by C.J. Beathard and Tom Savage.
Mullens earned the starting job based on his performance in Thursday’s victory over the Oakland Raiders.
Mullens was the backup to C.J. Beathard until Beathard suffered a thumb injury that enabled Mullens to make his NFL debut as the starter against Oakland.
