Garoppolo’s fracture is not the more serious, Lisfranc version, nor did he sustain any ligament damage, but he still faces a “big recovery,” Shanahan said.
The 49ers aren’t planning an offensive overhaul for rookie Brock Purdy’s first career start this Sunday, but they’re also bracing for the most successful counterpart in NFL history: Tom Brady, who returns to his native Bay Area fresh off leading the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to a last-minute, Monday night win.
While Shanahann commended Brady for “flawless technique” and an arm that appears stronger than ever, Purdy offers an element of the unknown, despite rallying the 49ers in Sunday’s 33-17 win over the Dolphins.
