Jimmy Garoppolo suits up for Rams debut in ‘weird’ matchup vs. 49ers

Longtime San Francisco 49ers starting quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo is officially back on an NFL roster with the Los Angeles Rams — and his first matchup is coming against his former team. Garoppolo is active for the Rams on Sunday after serving a two-game suspension for violating the NFL’s performance-enhancing drug policy. He’ll be serving as Matthew Stafford’s backup this season after a disastrous year with the Las Vegas Raiders.

Garoppolo will be seeing his former 49ers teammates in a regular season game for the first time, something he admitted to the Los Angeles Times will feel unusual.
