The #veteransforkaepernick even started trending overnight.</s>ROMANS: Andy Scholes has more in this morning's "Bleacher Report". Hey, Andy.</s>ANDY SCHOLES, CNN SPORTS CORRESPONDENT: Hey, good morning, guys. You know, no matter how you feel about the Colin Kaepernick situation, most of us have a strong opinion about his stance including members of the military. Overnight, the number one trend on social media was #veteransforkaepernick, as many veterans voicing their support for the 49ers quarterback. Now, the theme coming for many of them they didn't fight for Kaepernick to stand for the national anthem. They fought for his right to freedom of speech. Meantime, Kaepernick is expected to start for the 49ers in the final preseason game tomorrow night. Head coach Chip Kelly has said the whole Kaepernick situation has not been a distraction.</s>CHIP KELLY, 49ERS HEAD COACH: We recognize his right to express his feeligns but that doesn't affect what we do here when we get here at 8:15 in the morning to when we leave at 8:00 at night.</s>SCHOLES: The 49ers will play in San Diego tomorrow night. Chargers will be celebrating their 28 annual salute to the military. They will honor military members on the field. And before the third quarter, a veteran will perform "God Bless America." All right. Devastating news for Vikings fans. Quarterback Teddy Bridgewater suffering a dislocated knee and torn ACL during a noncontact drill yesterday at practice. The injury was so bad, they called off practice after he went down. Bridgewater is now going to be out for the season. Thirty-six-year- old veteran backup Sean Hill is in line to start for Minnesota. And the Vikings now in the market for a quarterback, less than two weeks before the season. Hey, Tim Tebow is available, however, football, not really on his mind right now. Tebow holding a workout for 28 major league teams yesterday as he tries to start a career in baseball after 12 years away from the game. Tebow showed some power at the plate, but did struggle in the off-speed pitches. And after the workout, he was asked at 29 years old why try baseball now.</s>TIM TEBOW, WORKED OUT FOR MLB SCOUTS: The second hardest decision that I ever made was giving up baseball to go to the University of Florida and play football. And, you know, it wasn't a season that went by that it wasn't something that I thought about. And for me, when I -- you know, I felt like I had this opportunity, I want to take it and pursue it with everything I had.</s>SCHOLES: Guys, Tebow did not get great reviews from the scouts there on hand for his workout. I guarantee you someone is going to sign Tebow to a minor league deal because they know one thing, he'll get fans to go to the game.</s>ROMANS: Yes, that's a good PR move for maybe both of them. All right. Thanks so much, Andy.</s>SCHOLES: All right.</s>ROMANS: Donald Trump taking a surprise trip heading south the border, a border he says will be impenetrable if he's president.
