Jimmy Garoppolo will undergo shoulder surgery that will sideline him until the summer, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. The 49ers quarterback is expected to be traded this month.
The surgery will not impact his trade status, per ESPN. He's expected to resume throwing around July 4. He’ll be expected to be ready to work with a new staff if he is traded.
Garoppolo has spent the last five seasons in San Francisco but may have overstayed his welcome. The 49ers have several big-time playmakers on both sides of the ball, but it doesn't appear that the franchise would prefer Garoppolo to lead them.
