San Francisco 49ers general manager John Lynch met with the media on Thursday, and he offered some stunning and entirely unexpected news about the rehab process for quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo and running back Jerick McKinnon. Lynch told the 49ers media at the Senior Bowl that both players are doing “exceptionally well” and are on pace to be on the field when training camp opens later this summer.
I’m trying to remember the last time a general manager said a rehabbing player was not on or ahead of pace.
