49ers QB Jimmy Garoppolo is done for the season with a broken foot.

Absolutely unfortunate for Garoppolo, who helped keep the 49ers on pace for a potential Super Bowl berth after taking back the reigns from an injured Trey Lance. Now, it will be up to 2022's Mr. Irrelevant, rookie quarterback Brock Purdy, to keep the 49ers on track. Purdy went 25/37 for 210 yards, two touchdowns and one interception in San Francisco's 33-17 win over the Dolphins. Fortunately for Purdy, he gets the same talent surrounding him that Garoppolo did. How Kyle Shanahan navigates this will be very interesting to watch. But it's an unfortunate setback for Garoppolo and the 49ers, who looked primed to challenge the Eagles and Vikings in the NFC.

49ers QB Jimmy Garoppolo is questionable to return with an ankle injury.

Garoppolo was carted off early in the game and taken to the locker room to have his ankle evaluated. For the moment, Brock Purdy, Mr. Irrelevant, is in at quarterback.

The San Francisco 49ers will have Trey Lance as their starting quarterback for this season. Head coach Kyle Shanahan confirmed the 49ers will start Lance and try to trade Jimmy Garoppolo in the coming weeks.

"We have moved on to Trey (Lance), Shanahan said as the 49ers reported to camp Tuesday. "We think Jimmy would have been traded if the surgery didn't happen. He needed to do it, there's no ill will there at all. It's good to see that he is healthy, but now it's about seeing how all this will end up."

Shanahan said the team will always think about Garoppolo and they will work together to find the best thing for him. Garoppolo had offseason surgery on his shoulder, damaging any opportunity of the 49ers getting value for their starting quarterback this offseason, the story said. Not many teams are in need for a quarterback as camps opened across the league this week, nor does San Francisco have much leverage in trying to get high compensation for him the story added. We have Lance ranked 12th on our QB list.

San Francisco head coach Kyle Shanahan told 49ers reporter Tim Kawakami on his The Athletic podcast that he would "be surprised" if Jimmy Garoppolo is practicing with the 49ers at any point this offseason. He also mentioned that he didn't know if he would even see him anymore after tomorrow's physical day.

This all but confirms that Garoppolo will be out of the building sooner rather than later. This clearly opens the runway for Trey Lance, but also puts doubts on other "fringe" quarterbacks around the league. The Seahawks, Texans, Saints, and Commanders seem like the most likely candidates, in whatever order you would like to put them in.

49ers QB Jimmy Garoppolo will undergo shoulder surgery that will sideline him until this summer.

Whether Jimmy G is a 49er come summer is still to be determined, it gives Trey Lance an opportunity to work with the team's offensive players as the QB1 as long as Garoppolo is out.

At this point the confusion between who is starting makes it difficult to figure out the role of Garoppolo and Lance. Lance is healthy, but Jimmy has more work with the first team offense.

Jimmy G is expected to start if he is active Week 18, so make plans to have another QB on your roster if you intended on starting Lance.

It is Trey Lance time by the bay. His rushing floor makes him an interesting DFS play and iffy season-long start.

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo missed Thursday's practice due to a thumb injury.

Jimmy G is dealing with a UCL sprain in his right thumb and has now missed two straight practices. Despite the injury, JImmy G sounds confident that he can play through it against the Houston Texans on Sunday. The quarterback insisted that he played through the injury for most of Week 16 and should be able to suit up as the 49ers attempt to clinch a postseason berth. With that said, he did admit that he and the coaching staff will remain in lockstep in looking out for the team's best interests. Trey Lance has taken all the first-team reps with Garoppolo sidelined and is currently our 14th ranked quarterback for Week 17.
