Edit: Kaep is in the building, but players only arrived back at practice today.
The restructured deal has been signed.

Kaepernick, who was signed through 2020, now has a one-year deal with a player option to extend it for another season. Kaepernick can also void the deal before the new league year starts in March and become an unrestricted free agent.
The revised contract eliminates the injury guarantee that was connected to his $14.5 million salary in 2017. On Tuesday, after he was named the starting quarterback for Sunday’s game against the Bills, Kaepernick said he felt “no pressure” to sign the contract before he played in Buffalo.
He also said he didn’t know if his injury guarantee is the reason he didn’t replace Gabbert earlier.
“I really don’t know,” Kaepernick said. “You’d have to ask the people upstairs about that.”
