I hope Jimmy Garoppolo is OK, for his sake. We’ll likely find out what his injury is and how long he’ll be out sometime today. Kyle Shanahan speaks at 3:30 p.m. PT on Monday.
The 49ers had a different out-of-the-tunnel surprise to start the game. Kicker Robbie Gould injured his groin during pregame warmups, forcing the team to tap punter Mitch Wishnowsky as its placekicker — something he’d never done previously — and sending assistant general manager Adam Peters to search for a fill-in for the next game against the Cardinals.
With fullback Kyle Juszczyk holding, Wishnowsky, the NFC’s reigning special teams player of the month, was good on his first extra point.
