49ers QB Jimmy Garoppolo is no longer on the injury report and will start Sunday against the Los Angeles Rams, according to Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area.

Garoppolo was pulled last week and will try to make amends against a division rival at home. Jimmy G is a low end QB2 this week.

"Jimmy Garoppolo came in good (on Monday)," HC Kyle Shanahan said. "I know he's sore from the first half. I think his ankle is a little bit sore and his body a little bit from some of the hits that he had. But nothing that made it worse. It was like you would expect after a game. Nothing too bad happened. We got him out of there before that did."

"We'll see how he is on Wednesday," Shanahan said. "I expect him to be at least the same, if not better. So, hopefully we can get a week of that and have no setbacks (on) Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. And hopefully we get him out there Sunday night."

The 49ers remain positive in Garoppolo's ability to return to the field. San Francisco will need their roster near perfect as the team enters a gauntlet of matchups against above .500 teams over the course of the next six weeks. The 9ers play the Rams in Week 6, a matchup that's likely to determine the direction of their hoped salvageable season. And despite Garoppolo's reluctance to confirm, the signs are pointing to the quarterback returning under center on primetime, the story all said.

49ers QB Jimmy Garoppolo and RB Raheem Mostert are officially active for Sunday against the Dolphins.

Garoppolo only ends up missing two games with his ankle sprain and sends Nick Mullens to the inactive list (C.J. Beathard will be the backup). Head coach Kyle Shanahan had already announced Garoppolo was returning this week but now it’s officially official. Mostert was limited all week with a knee injury and was listed as questionable but he is getting the green light today. We have both Mostert and Jerick McKinnon among the top 30 running backs this week while Jimmy G comes in at No. 19 among quarterbacks.

49ers QB Jimmy Garoppolo will start Week 5 against the Miami Dolphins, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.

Nick Mullens is a capable backup quarterback, but there is a reason head coach Kyle Shanahan and management have committed to Jimmy G. He comes back in time to face a mediocre Dolphins defense and has his top targets back.

49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan told Brian Murphy of KNBR that QB Jimmy Garoppolo will return on Sunday against the Dolphins. Shanahan wants to see Garoppolo get through today’s practice without issue before making that decision official, according to Nick Wagoner of ESPN.

A poor performance by backup QB Nick Mullens can do wonders for injured starters. Jimmy G will more than likely be asked to do as little as possible in his presumptive return Sunday against a toothless Dolphins defense. His return will be a net positive for all 49ers offensive players in fantasy.

Coach Kyle Shanahan left the door open to more movement there, after backup Nick Mullens was benched in favor of third-stringer C.J. Beathard late in Sunday’s loss to the Eagles.

The 49ers are holding out some hope Garoppolo can return from his high-ankle sprain this week, which could make the rest of the depth chart a moot point, the story said.
