“We’re still training, still pushing,” Kaepernick said. “So, hopefully. We’ve just got to get one of these team owners to open up.”
Harbaugh, who was Kaepernick’s head coach with the San Francisco 49ers, told USA Today Sports he spoke with Kaepernick in January about joining the Chargers “in a nonplaying capacity.”
“Yeah, we talked a little bit about it,” Harbaugh said. “He’s considering it. He was out of the country. He said he was going to get back to me. We haven’t reconnected since then. That was early, early in the year.
“If that was ever the path he was to take, I think that would be tremendous,” he added. “He’d be a tremendous coach, if that’s the path he chose.”
Kaepernick’s exit from the NFL came after he incited protests during the national anthem in 2016 by kneeling on the sideline to protest police brutality.
