The veteran quarterback continues to battle with a torn ligament and chipped bone, as he has done for the majority of the season. Too mak matters for Garoppolo and the 49ers, he even suffered a right shoulder sprain during their latest victory.
With his fitness being of the utmost priority for the crucial fixture coming up this week, it’s only fair that a fitness update is given about him. The 49ers’ offensive coordinator, Mike McDaniel gave a peek into the level of fitness, Jimmy Garoppolo is currently in and on his impending participation in the crunch match against the Packers.
“With the way, Jimmy takes care of himself, and at this point in the season, it would be like pulling teeth to get him not to do everything he can to perform at his highest level,” Mike McDaniel responded to questions from reporters on the fitness of Garoppolo.
“It’s a bump and a bruise that for him is a big deal, but for the San Francisco 49ers, our fan base and us, we can all count on Jimmy doing whatever it takes so that he can perform at the level he needs to on Saturday. So I’m not too concerned.”
The offensive coordinator brushed off fears that he would not be able to take the pitch this weekend. He also soothed the fans by assuring them he is throwing the ball well in practice.
“The practice has yet to happen, but if I was a crystal ball reader, which I’ve declared that I’m not, I would anticipate him throwing it well today and us moving forward from there.”
