Jimmy Garoppolo’s time in San Francisco is coming to an end, but he has one stop to make before finding a new team.
According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Garoppolo is expected to undergo shoulder surgery that would sideline him until the summer. Garoppolo injured his shoulder in the 49ers’ playoff win against the Cowboys, but he rode it out during San Francisco’s final two playoff games. He also injured his right thumb, which is not expected to require surgery.
Not that Garoppolo’s surgery will have any impact on his impending future. Schefter reported that Garoppolo is still likely to be traded before the start of the new league year.
