There is one silver lining from the San Francisco injury-filled win over the New York Jets. Head coach Kyle Shanahan says quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo’s ankle injury isn’t bad as first thought, and that he might able to start against the New York Giants on Sunday.
If Garoppolo can’t go, Nick Mullens will take his place. The 25-year-old played the second half of the game against New York and went 8-for-11 for 71 yards and a pick.

Mullens didn’t have to be spectacular considering the Niners were up 21-3 when he came in, and the fact that the Jets are a terrible football team.
