49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan met with the media Wednesday on Zoom for the first time in a year. The NFL mandated that moving forward; this is how media availability will go with the surge in COVID-19 cases.
Shanahan said Jimmy Garoppolo wouldn’t need surgery on his thumb. Garoppolo has what Shanahan described as a Grade 3 sprain. Jimmy was headed out to the practice field with trainers to see if he could practice Wednesday. Jimmy will be limited with an outside chance to play Sunday if he can.
Shanahan said Garoppolo has a small bone fragment in his thumb that was pulled off.
