In Week 8, an obviously hobbled Jimmy Garoppolo struggled through the first three quarters of the 49ers’ loss to the Seahawks, before he was finally relieved in favor of Nick Mullens.
Garoppolo has not played since that Sunday in Seattle, as he was placed on injured reserve following San Francisco’s loss to the Seahawks. Though the 49ers opened up the practice window for Garoppolo last week, keeping the possibility of a Week 17 return open, the passer will not return in 2020.
Kyle Shanahan told reporters on Wednesday that Garoppolo will not play on Sunday against Seattle, ending his season and potentially his time in San Francisco.
