SANTA CLARA – Jimmy Garoppolo can retrace his infamous steps Saturday at Arrowhead Stadium, the scene of last season’s crime, where his season got robbed and his career trajectory suddenly became dependent on his left knee’s reconstruction.
Coach Kyle Shanahan plans to play him the first half at Kansas City, allowing Garoppolo ample time to rediscover his offensive rhythm and attain any mental catharsis.
“It definitely will be a little weird getting back there,” Garoppolo said Thursday, “but I’m just trying to treat it like a normal game.”
