Joshua Garnett now dealing with a broken thumb
The fact that the San Francisco 49ers will not make the playoffs this season opens the door for focusing on evaluation for the 2019 offseason and beyond. The 49ers have a host of decisions to make, both internally and externally, and the final six weeks will offer a chance to evaluate their roster.
One player that might be moving further to the outs is guard Joshua Garnett. The 2016 first round pick broke his thumb in practice prior to the Week 10 matchup with the New York Giants, per Cam Inman. He wore a cast and was active for five special teams snaps, but then had surgery on the thumb during the bye week.
