As Jimmy Garoppolo continues to progress following his offseason surgery on his right shoulder, there is an expectation that the quarterback could be fully cleared to play by the middle of August, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.
Garoppolo underwent surgery in March and was initially slated to begin throwing again around July 4. On July 11, Garoppolo’s agent, Don Yee, told NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero that his client was “progressing” and “on schedule” in his rehab process.
While the 49ers quarterback has been throwing for several weeks, the focus for him now becomes how consistently he can make deep passes as well as seeing how his shoulder reacts to the difficulty of a practice or a game.
