The 49ers will not place Jimmy Garoppolo on injured reserve in case of a long-shot return for the playoffs.
SANTA CLARA — Jimmy Garoppolo is not being banished to the 49ers’ injured-reserve list.Confused? So goes this week’s paradox with the 49ers quarterback who sustained a fractured left foot in last Sunday’s 33-17 win over the Miami Dolphins.
2.) Carrying Garoppolo on the 53-man roster means that a door remains open for a comeback, even if Lynch echoed coach Kyle Shanahan’s words Wednesday that it remains “highly unlikely” Garoppolo plays again this season. Unlike Lance’s fracture, Garoppolo does not require surgery, and on-time recovery could give the 49ers insurance for the playoffs, presuming Brock Purdy stays healthy and quarterbacks the 49ers there.
As of right now, we’re not going to move Jimmy to IR. We’re just going to carry him on our roster and we’re going to see how this rehab process goes,” general manager John Lynch said. “There’s a natural healing process that has to take place.”
