Jimmy Garoppolo in the process of gathering multiple opinions before deciding on ankle surgery


Santa Clara, California. – San Francisco 49-year-old quarterback Jimmy Geroppolo’s latest right ankle sprain did not extend into the whole new one due to his previous injury, so he will miss about six weeks and could be out. The rest of the season tu.

The 49-year-old’s coach Kyle Shanah said on Tuesday that Garoppolo was “completely new on one foot,” in Sunday’s ankle against the Seattle Seahawks, and that the sprain was considered more serious than the one he suffered in Week 2. New York Jets.

Because of this, before Garoppolo prepares to gather multiple medical opinions, whether he will need surgery, which will end his 2020 season.

“When you have more of this ankle, you injure it again,” Shanah said. “But the way he did it was different, so he’s basically doing it again in a different way. … Whatever’s best for him, it’s long-term, we’ll definitely decide whether. But if he If it does, surgery is needed, then it will be all year; if not, hopefully six weeks, to finally get a chance to come back. “

Asked if he thinks Garoppolo has been brought back from the first ankle too soon, Shanah hinted that this is not really the issue and although Garoppolo struggled a lot in the comeback against the Miami Dolphins, he will move on to Seattle in two weeks of loss. For.

“I don’t regret bringing them back at any time,” Shanah said. “Naturally, the way Miami played, if I had seen that before the game, we could have avoided bringing him back, but I felt he gave us a really good chance to win and we don’t think he was. The risk of going with him and getting injured. That’s the decent thing to do, and it should end there. It was a great day. It was a great day.

Soon, Geropolo will move to the injured reserve, which means he has missed at least the next three games, including Thursday night’s game against the Green Bay Packers. The same is true of the tight end of George Kettle, who suffered a fracture in his leg that initially did not appear on X-rays on Sunday but after further testing on Monday.

Kitley, who missed two games with a sprained knee earlier this season, is known to return earlier than usual due to injury, but Shanaha hinted that this time the situation probably won’t be the same.

“I think they told me eight weeks.” “Kittle says two, but he rolls this way. But that’s why he’s going to IR. If he’s better than what he’s saying, he’ll have a chance to come back this year, but eight weeks is eight weeks. “

Shanah also dismissed receiver Debo Samuel (hamstring) for running behind Tequin Coleman (knee sprain) and linebacker Demetrius Flanagan-Fowles (hamstring) against Green Bay on Thursday night.

Backup will start with Garoppolo on quarterback vs. Nick Mulens Packers, with Ross entering for Dwivedi Kittal. Tight end Jordan Reid, who is working back from a knee sprain, may also be in the mix, although his participation in Tuesday’s practice was expected to be limited.

Shanah has also hinted that the practice squad running behind Austin Warlter may be encouraged to join this week’s Jamaic Hasty and Jericho McKinnon, who is only available on a healthy daily basis.

The relentless spread of injured niners has dominated them, but the team has little time to stay on them with another game in two days.

“We had an idea about the injuries but we kept getting bad news on that stuff, which was tough,” Shanah said. “But eventually you’ll get out of many hours of the day. You’ve thought of planning a game … What we can think of is one thing right now.”

In addition, 49 people forgave giant receiver Dante Pattis and defensive lineman Julian Taylor. Pettis was elected in the second round in 2018. Taylor spent the season on being unable to make the list physically after tearing up his ACL in December last year.
