Golden Nuggets: Jimmy’s return to game action

After 11 months away from NFL football, Jimmy Garoppolo was finally able to get real game action. His return was highly anticipated, but it was far from good. He went 1 for 6 with zero yards with one interception and Denver should have had another one. The rust was inevitable for a player that was away from the game for so long, but Jimmy never looked comfortable in Denver. The Denver defense put pressure on him and he looked shaky with them getting near him.

Jimmy’s biggest hurdle before Week 1 is the mental side of getting back on the field after an injury.
