INDIANAPOLIS – Quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo saw his longest stint of the preseason season on Saturday against the Indianapolis Colts.
And the next time Garoppolo will be seen on the playing field will be Sunday, Sept. 9, when the 49ers open the regular season against the Minnesota Vikings.
Garoppolo and the 49ers’ first-team offense were on the field for 42 snaps and rolled up 246 yards (5.9 yards per offensive play). But there was nothing to show for it, except for a pair of field goals.
Quarterback Andrew Luck threw a touchdown pass in the second quarter to lead the Indianapolis Colts to a 23-17 win over the 49ers on Saturday at Lucas Oil Stadium in the third preseason game of the summer for both teams.
