49ers QB coach Shane Day 'really encouraged' by Jimmy Garoppolo so far

SANTA CLARA — All reports of Jimmy Garoppolo’s return have been positive. 49ers quarterbacks coach Shane Day agrees with those assessments and detailed what the quarterback needs to work on going forward.

“I’ve been really encouraged by what I’ve seen,” Day said. “There’s a couple of aspects, one is coming back from the knee injury, which is kind of a work in progress that we are all communicating and working through which has all looked good. He’s right on pace with that.

“And then from a standpoint of playing quarterback, he’s working on some things technique wise, and kind of another time through with the offense.
