Jimmy Garoppolo Felt Pain on ‘Every Play’ While Dealing With Major Thumb Injury

49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo revealed Sunday after San Francisco's 20–17 loss to the Rams in the NFC championship that he felt pain throughout the postseason on the thumb on his throwing hand.

He told Mike Silver of Bally Sports, “Now I can say the truth. Every play, I feel it. But we made it through.”

“I can’t believe this s--- held up, to be completely honest with you,” Garoppolo said. “The thumb, the shoulder … all of it. It was one thing after another. … Every time I threw. It was a lot.”

Garoppolo suffered the thumb injury during San Francisco's Week 16 loss to the Titans.
