The highly anticipated matchup between the Dolphins and 49ers took an early hit Sunday during the first quarter when San Francisco quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo suffered an apparent ankle injury.
Garoppolo needed to be carted to the locker room to receive further evaluation. He was later downgraded to out.
Garoppolo’s injury took place on the team’s opening drive when he was sacked on third-and-6 from the Miami 19-yard line. San Francisco settled for a field goal on the next play, and Garoppolo was replaced by Brock Purdy on the ensuing possession.
