The San Francisco 49ers are going to see what Jimmy Garoppolo can do as their starting quarterback on Sunday in Week 13 at the Chicago Bears.
First-year head coach Kyle Shanahan told his quarterbacks about the switch Monday, per Matt Barrows of the Sacramento Bee.
Garoppolo gave the 49ers a taste of what he can do when he took over for an injured Beathard on their final drive in Week 12 against the Seattle Seahawks. He went 2-of-2 for 18 yards and connected with Louis Murphy for a touchdown on the final play of the game.
