49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo is undergoing offseason surgery, but not for the thumb injury that forced him to miss a Week 17 game against the Houston Texans.
According to a report from ESPN, Garoppolo will have shoulder surgery to repair an injury suffered in San Francisco’s Wild Card Game victory over the Dallas Cowboys. Ahead of the 49ers’ Divisional Round matchup with the Green Bay Packers, head coach Kyle Shanahan said Garoppolo sprained his shoulder against the Cowboys.
ESPN reported that Garoppolo will resume throwing around July and that his trade status is not expected to be impacted by the procedure.
