The San Francisco Chronicle’s Eric Branch reports head coach Kyle Shanahan said that Jimmy Garoppolo has a slight shoulder sprain in his throwing arm.
#49ers QB Jimmy Garoppolo has a "slight shoulder sprain" — his throwing shoulder — but should be able to practice Wednesday, Kyle Shanahan said
However, Shanahan expects Garoppolo to practice to start the week, so it doesn’t sound too serious.
Garoppolo missed the team’s Week 17 matchup with the Texans due to a thumb injury on his throwing hand.
The Niners are coming off a 23-17 win over the Cowboys in the wild card round.
