2 months agoSan Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo (foot) has already been ruled out for this week's NFC Championship game against the Philadelphia Eagles, but the 31-year-old stated that a return in the Super Bowl is "still up in the air." Rookie Brock Purdy has led San Francisco to eight consecutive wins and is expected to start for the remainder of the team's postseason run regardless of Garoppolo's availability. Still, the veteran would provide security and playoff experience as a backup. Garoppolo's progress will be worth monitoring should the 49ers defeat the Eagles in Philadelphia on Sunday.--Jorden Hill - RotoBaller
