Jimmy Garoppolo A Long Shot To Return In Playoffs
2 years agoSan Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said that quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo (foot) isn't dealing with ligament damage to his foot, but he's unlikely to return for a postseason run. "Still going to be a big recovery. There's that way outside chance (of a return) late in the playoffs but just an outside chance. Not real optimistic about it but never rule it out," Shanahan said. Given Garoppolo's injury history, 49ers fans shouldn't expect him to return in the Divisional Round to lead the team to another Super Bowl appearance. With Trey Lance also done for the year, rookie seventh-rounder Brock Purdy will lead the offense moving forward. The good news for Jimmy G is that he doesn't have a Lisfranc injury, so he doesn't need surgery.
