SANTA CLARA, Calif. – As unsightly as it was for the 49ers to have another injured quarterback carted off their home field, they won yet again.
Their fifth consecutive win came Sunday by outlasting the Miami Dolphins 33-17 and overcoming Jimmy Garoppolo’s foot injury on the 49ers’ opening possession.
Some 2 ½ months after the 49ers lost Trey Lance to a fractured ankle in the home opener, Garoppolo injured his left foot battling on a third-down sack Sunday, all of which left Sunday’s game and perhaps many more in the hands of rookie quarterback Brock Purdy.
