San Francisco 49ers QB Jimmy Garoppolo has 'slightly' sprained throwing shoulder

SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- Already playing through a torn ligament in his right thumb, San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo suffered another injury in Sunday's victory over the Dallas Cowboys.

This time, Garoppolo is dealing with what coach Kyle Shanahan called Monday a "slightly" sprained right (throwing) shoulder. According to Shanahan, the injury occurred in the second quarter.

Garoppolo joins linebacker Fred Warner (sprained right ankle) and defensive end Nick Bosa (concussion) on the list of key Niners nursing injuries to watch this week as the team prepares for Saturday night's NFC divisional-round game against the Green Bay Packers.

The good news, according to Shanahan, is that Warner and Garoppolo should be ready to go against Green Bay. In fact, Shanahan believes Garoppolo will be able to practice when the team resumes those sessions on Tuesday.

Helps possibly explain why Garopplo's passing rating was around 64 in the second half.

He tends to make mistakes at inopportune times. I think most Niners fans are hoping Trey is the starter next season.

49ers will release Garoppolo because of salary cap issues. But I’ll wager they sign an experienced journeyman QB as backup.
