49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo has been cleared to practice without restrictions, San Francisco general manager John Lynch said Tuesday.
Garoppolo, who’s entering his ninth NFL season, underwent surgery to repair a torn capsule in his throwing shoulder in March. In the meantime, second-year pro Trey Lance, the No. 3 draft pick in 2021, has been elevated to the starting role.
“Jimmy’s doing a really good job,” Lynch told the media Tuesday. “Kind of building his stamina in the throwing program that was prescribed all along and working out really strongly and aggressively, but yeah that situation is kind of where we’ve described it before.
