Kyle Shanahan is really trying to make it seem as though Jimmy Garoppolo has a chance to start for the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday when they take on the Houston Texans at Levi’s Stadium.
“The trainers are taking him out right now to see how much he can do. If he can do something, he’ll be limited today. If not, he won’t practice and we’ll try again tomorrow,” Shanahan told Bay Area media during a Zoom call Wednesday afternoon.
Garoppolo tested the thumb out but left the field before Wednesday’s practice started, and the team signed quarterback Tyler Bray to the practice squad.
