Jimmy Garoppolo will start for the 49ers when they take travel to play the Chicago Bears on Sunday.
Kyle Shanahan made that announcement during a conference call with the Bay Area media Monday afternoon.
Garoppolo had his worst performance of the season in Sunday night’s 30-18 loss to the Indianapolis Colts, completing less than 60% of his passes and finishing with a quarterback rating of 60.9.
The issues that have plagued the 49ers offense throughout their current four game losing streak extend well beyond the quarterback position.
Against Indianapolis the 49ers running game gained 72 yards on their first seven attempts.
