49ers GM John Lynch: “I haven’t even talked to Jimmy yet.”

John Lynch knows the same thing we all know about Jimmy Garoppolo needing surgery on this throwing shoulder.

Speaking on day two of the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis, Lynch was asked about the quarterbacks throwing shoulder and if the need for surgery has impacted anything in terms of a trade.

“Yeah, so his situation, he injured his shoulder in the Dallas playoff game. And I think, ironically, protecting his thumb, trying not to land on his thumb. So, he landed on his shoulder,” said Lynch. “It was one of those injuries where the recommendation from multiple doctors was let’s try rehab first and see if the pain and some of the other symptoms go away.
