SANTA CLARA CA — San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy GaroppoloAfter sustaining a torn ligament in the right thumb, Dec. 23, he was able to throw a football on Tuesday.
According to Kyle Shanahan, Garoppolo was able to attend the session and will be able to practice Wednesday on a limited basis.
Garoppolo didn’t feel his best after the session. Garoppolo wasn’t shy when Garoppolo was asked Wednesday about the feeling of throwing with his thumb injury.
Garoppolo laughed and said, “F—it, it hurts.” “I don’t know how to describe it. It feels like your web is kind of tearing.
Shanahan also mentioned that Garoppolo will be participating Wednesday. Trey LanceIn a lighter exercise, the majority of reps will be retained.
The Niners are ready to provide another week of quarterback uncertainty, as they prepare for Sunday’s crucial game against the Steelers. Los Angeles Rams.
Shanahan stated that he has not made a decision yet on the quarterback. “And it’s likely that I will make it before game start, and I will not let you guys know when I do.”
Before playing in the playoffs, the 49ers had to go through a similar process. Houston TexansLance won, even though it was obvious from the beginning that Lance was going start. Garoppolo was not present or thrown prior to that game.
Things look a little more murkier now Garoppolo has resumed throwing and will presumably continue to practice this week.
Garoppolo described Tuesday as a “pretty great throwing session”, noting that he was working with modified tape on his right hand to improve his throwing motion and get his throwing motion back.
Garoppolo was injured in the second quarter of San Francisco’s loss to the San Francisco. Tennessee TitansHe explained that he had to change his throwing motion in order to get a better grip and to manage the pain in the thumb. He hopes to be able to return to his normal throwing motion after all the recovery.
Garoppolo is still aware that he will not be fully fit this week, regardless of what happens in the next days.
Garoppolo stated that any injury is not always 100%. It’s one those things that is literally day-by-day. Yesterday it felt good. This morning, after throwing yesterday, it wasn’t so hot. Every day is different. It’s all about rehabbing it, getting rid of the swelling, and getting rid of the motion.
Lance did well in the win over the Texans. He was 16-of 23 for 249 yards, with two touchdowns. Garoppolo had a passer rating of 116.0.
In 2017, Garoppolo has never lost against the Rams in five starts. He also posted a season-best 96.1 QBR in defeating them in a 31-10 win on Nov. 15. Garoppolo and the Niners won’t push Garoppolo too hard this week, if he doesn’t feel up to it.
Shanahan stated, “I think it’s important to be cautious.” “I believe he was able to get to this point by waiting, but each day is a new experience. So it’s going be at Jimmy’s pace. Talking to him and making sure that he doesn’t push it too much to make Sunday a success, I think.
A win Sunday would secure a playoff spot and the No. For the Niners, a loss would mean they are out of the NFC playoffs. If they lost, they would still be hopeful for the New Orleans SaintsTo lose to Atlanta FalconsTo sneak into the playoffs. Those are the stakes the 49ers haven’t had in 2019 and make Garoppolo even more eager to be available.
It was a long season with many events. He stated, “You go through all of that stuff just for the chance that we have Sunday.” “That’s all that you can ask for. I’m going out to do all I can to help you. It’s a big deal. I’ll do everything I can to get out there.
“But at the exact same time, you need to be smart and consider what is best for your team in order to win. It is important to be intelligent in all decisions that you make.
