49ers starting quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo is expected to miss an extended period of time after he suffered an ankle injury in Sunday's loss to the Seahawks, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Schefter reports Garoppolo could miss at least six weeks but possibly more if surgery is needed.
Garoppolo exited Sunday's game with 14 minutes left to play after appearing to re-injure his ankle after a hit earlier in the contest. He completed 11 of 16 passes on the afternoon for just 84 yards before being replaced by backup quarterback Nick Mullens.
San Francisco has been consistently bit by the injury bug in 2020.
