Garoppolo’s rehab continues; 49ers’ GM Lynch says latest step is ‘music to my ears’

The 49ers likely won’t focus much energy on the quarterbacks they’re coaching this week because of the player gearing up for a return in 2019.

There’s good news regarding the franchise signal caller. Jimmy Garoppolo has taken an important step in his rehab from a torn left ACL, as he was seen throwing for the first time at the team’s facility recently, general manager John Lynch confirmed Tuesday from Mobile, Ala., where the 49ers are coaching the South team for the Senior Bowl on Saturday.

“He’s doing really well. You follow with the trainers, and you’re in constant communication with the doctors,” Lynch said in an interview with CBS Sports.
