According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo will play against the Green Bay Packers on Saturday. This comes after Fox Sports 1’s Jason McIntyre stated that there were rumors that Garoppolo’s hand and shoulder injuries were in “may not start” territory on Tuesday.
Rapoport said, “Jimmy Garoppolo is expected to play this weekend for the San Francisco 49ers, but he isn’t going to be 100 percent doing it.” Rapoport also noted that the passer has both a torn ligament and a bone chip that will require surgery to his hand and that Garoppolo sprained his shoulder in the second quarter against the Dallas Cowboys in the wild card round.
