World News – US – Injury to Jimmy Garoppolo: When will the 49ers QB come back to play again?

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo to miss second game in a row as he continues to recover from ankle injury Niners have not revealed a specific schedule for his comeback, choosing instead to reveal that the quarterback was out on the Friday before their game in each of the past two weeks The 49ers have hinted Garoppolo is week to week, with the injury refusing to rule out the quarterback earlier in the week

One thing is clear is that the 49ers have no quarterback controversy Nick Mullens played well in Garoppolo’s absence, but 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan has ruled out any idea he might overtake their injured quarterback for the starting position

“No, that scenario doesn’t exist, but I also don’t think beyond a match,” Shanahan explained, by 49erswebzonecom “So it’s up to you to do it, but it is Jimmy’s team He’s done a hell of a job for us and when he’s healthy he’ll play for us again « 

Shanahan injured his ankle against the Jets in Week 2, but got off to a great start with 14 of 16 for 131 yards and two TDs

Garoppolo continued to miss 49ers testing, an indication the quarterback is not ready to return to the field Shanahan detailed what he would need to see from his quarterback to get Garoppolo back play

« He just needs to be able to be healthy in terms of, he can run, protect himself and throw some throws, » Shanahan noted, per 49erscom « Whenever we are dealing with an ankle you can feel good when you are standing there, but can you move around and get into awkward positions without hurting yourself? This is really what we would need to see It would be difficult for us to see this and really judge that if he didn’t train So hopefully he can come out for at least a period live, and we have them until Friday So we just have to see that he’s healthy But that can’t happen if he can’t train enough « 

There have been rumors that the 49ers weren’t happy with Garoppolo since his Super Bowl performance Shanahan has tried to dispel these rumors numerous times since Garoppolo suffered an ankle injury

« No Jimmy is our guy and if he’s ready to go and the medics say he’s healthy and can go out there and protect himself and if Jimmy feels confident about do it and give us the best chance of winning, in that case then Jimmy will be there, ”Shanahan explained, by Niners Nation“ If Jimmy isn’t safe and he can’t protect himself, then we will go with Nick « 

There might also be a little sense of the game the 49ers play to force their opponents to prepare for two quarterbacks Garoppolo’s training in Week 5 will be a strong indication of his status against the Dolphins
