San Francisco 49ers fans and players alike are not going to be laying off on discussions about Jimmy Garoppolo’s knee injury. An ill-advised cut in the final moments of Week 3’s contest against the Kansas City Chiefs is all that was needed to put the quarterback and the optimism out of commission, at least for a while.
Current starting quarterback C.J. Beathard said on KNBR Wednesday morning that Garoppolo left the team on Tuesday to have his surgery, and will return to the team in a couple weeks. The surgery is just now happening because Garoppolo needed to wait for swelling to go down.
