SANTA CLARA — Despite reports to the contrary, the San Francisco 49ers are not optimistic about quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo returning for a possible playoff run even after getting the favorable news that he wouldn't require surgery on his broken left foot.
Garoppolo broke his foot in the first quarter on Sunday against the Miami Dolphins and the original fear was that he had a Lisfranc injury that would require surgery and could sideline him for several months. While that would have him healed by the second or third weekend of the playoffs, Shanahan said it would take longer until he was ready to play quarterback again.
