San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan spoke with reporters on Friday and provided some good news on the status of Jimmy Garoppolo. The quarterback will not require surgery to repair the damage from the high-ankle sprain he suffered this past Sunday against the Seattle Seahawks.

"Yeah, the good news from the doctors is that none of them is recommending surgery right now," Shanahan said. "So, we're not going to do anything for these four to six weeks, rest it, and then we'll re-evaluate him in four to six weeks. And hopefully, it heals up the way the doctors are anticipating, and he'll be good to go then, and not need surgery."

Six weeks off would put a potential return for Garoppolo at around Week 15. Surgery, of course, would have ended his season.
