Jed York thought he broke his wrist when finding out Jimmy Garoppolo tore ACL

The San Francisco 49ers had a deep list of players on IR, and Jed York was about to be the first front office member to join them. Towards the end of the 49ers’ Week 3 away game against the Kansas City Chiefs, Jimmy Garoppolo took off and tore his ACL. The coaching staff knew immediately what happened and when York knew, he punched a wall hard enough, he thought he broke his wrist.

Jennifer Lee Chan had an interview on the incident where York recounted the moments after Garoppolo went down and everyone feared the worst:

“It was a good punch,” York said.
