Jimmy G Discusses Injury Status, Return to…

Jimmy Garoppolo will practice for the first time since Dec. 23rd – his last healthy outing since suffering a right thumb sprain. In the second quarter of the 49ers Week 16 loss against the Tennessee Titans, Garoppolo’s Grade 3 sprain of the ulnar collateral ligament hampered his performance in the rest of the game and ultimately kept him out of San Francisco’s matchup against the Houston Texans.

Per head coach Kyle Shanahan, the quarterback had an opportunity to test his right hand earlier in the week, making him “good enough to be limited” during the team’s first practice on Wednesday.
