Jimmy Garoppolo returns to practice, may start on Sunday

Jimmy Garoppolo has a chance to start for the San Francisco 49ers in their season finale on Sunday against the Los Angeles Rams.

The veteran quarterback went through a throwing session Tuesday, the first time he has throw a ball since December 23 in Tennessee. According to coach Kyle Shanahan, it went well enough for the veteran to be a limited participant in practice on Wednesday.

Garoppolo also felt the session went well, but noted that he’s still felling soreness in his thumb.

“It’s sore. It was a pretty good throwing session yesterday,” said Garoppolo. “Just trying to get the motion back and everything and get it feeling where I want it to feel.
