The San Francisco 49ers had a wrench tossed into their playoff plans last week. Even without their starting left tackle and left guard, the Tennessee Titans were able to play Titan-brand football and win on a Randy Bullock field goal. At the end of the second quarter of that game, quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo suffered a thumb injury after he was sacked by Denico Autry. At the time, the 49ers thought it was a jammed thumb. The recent diagnosis is worse than that.
