49ers’ Jimmy Garoppolo practices for second consecutive day
According to observers, San Francisco 49ers quarterback
Jimmy Garoppolo was out on the practice field for the second consecutive day. The team will release a practice participation report within a couple of hours. On Wednesday, Garoppolo was limited.
The 49ers quarterback is recovering from a torn ligament and chipped bone in his right thumb, an injury sustained during Week 16 against the Tennessee Titans. Garoppolo was inactive this past Sunday against the Houston Texans. Rookie quarterback
Trey Lance started in his place.
"I'm trying to get it back to my old motion where it's fluid and everything like that, but
it will just take some time," Garoppolo said on Wednesday. "It's a process, but we're working in the right direction."
The 9-7 49ers are preparing for their regular-season finale against the Los Angeles Rams. A win would secure a playoff berth. A loss, coupled with a win by the New Orleans Saints, would knock them out of the playoff picture.
The 49ers and Rams are scheduled to kick off on Sunday afternoon from SoFi Stadium.

Breer: Jimmy Garoppolo's 49ers fate dependent on Trey Lance's offseason development
Jimmy Garoppolo has remained on the San Francisco 49ers roster far longer than anyone expected or predicted. The Niners have tried to trade the veteran, clearing the way for second-year quarterback Trey Lance. However, offseason shoulder surgery halted trade discussions, and the 49ers, for now, appear stuck with Garoppolo and his hefty salary.
The 49ers have maintained that they are comfortable holding onto Garoppolo if they cannot strike a deal to their liking. Everyone realizes, though, that Plan A is to trade the quarterback for something worthwhile rather than letting him fulfill his contract on the team and leave as a free agent in 2023. Releasing Garoppolo would also net them nothing, aside from salary cap space.

Ross Tucker believes 49ers QB Jimmy Garoppolo to Panthers remains a possibility
Former NFL offensive lineman turned sports broadcaster and analyst Ross Tucker doesn't "believe for a second" that the Carolina Panthers and Seattle Seahawks will enter Week 1 of the 2022 season with one of their current quarterbacks as the starter. Instead, he feels both teams will make a move to prevent that from happening.

Should QB Jimmy Garoppolo play another snap for the 49ers?
By Rohan Chakravarthi

The 2022 NFL Draft has come and gone, but San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo remains on the roster as he rehabs from a shoulder injury that required surgery in early March.
For the past year, it has seemed apparent that the organization would move on from its veteran quarterback, as the 49ers were involved in talks with a number of free-agent quarterbacks last offseason, most notably Andy Dalton, and were also in the Matthew Stafford sweepstakes before the Rams ultimately traded for the longtime Lion.
Eventually, the 49ers moved forward with a pre-draft trade, moving three first-rounders and a third-rounder in exchange for the third overall selection, which the team ultimately used on Trey Lance, who started two games in 2021.

49ers keeping Jimmy Garoppolo while starting Trey Lance wouldn't surprise Peter King
Will the San Francisco 49ers be able to offload quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo to another team? They've certainly expressed a desire to do so. However, Garoppolo remains on the roster after undergoing shoulder surgery on March 8, which sent his stock tumbling. No one seems eager to trade for an injured quarterback who can't throw until late next month, at the earliest.
The 49ers have repeatedly stated they are willing to hold onto Garoppolo and his hefty salary if they can't trade him. They aren't going to give him away for free by releasing him. That might mean a team like the division rival Seattle Seahawks scooping him up. Garoppolo is undoubtedly an upgrade over anyone currently in place for the spiraling Seahawks. San Francisco is unlikely to do their NFC West nemesis any
