Jimmy Garoppolo played through a significant amount of pain during Sunday's 27-24 playoff-clinching overtime win against the Los Angeles Rams. He is dealing with a torn ligament and chipped bone in his right thumb, making throwing a football a challenge.
Garoppolo could
require offseason surgery. Right now, he is focused on the 49ers' playoff opponent—the Dallas Cowboys.
Garoppolo spoke with reporters via Zoom before Wednesday's practice. He was asked how his thumb felt after Sunday's thrilling game and how it felt on Wednesday as the 49ers start preparing for the Cowboys.
"The thumb held up pretty well," Garoppolo responded. "It is what it is. It was a little sore after the game, but it's feeling great right now."
That's good news for the 49ers, who will lean on Garoppolo to lead the team's No. 12 ranked passing attack and No. 7 ranked offense (total yards) against the Cowboys defense. Dallas is currently favored by three points in the upcoming Wild-Card matchup.

49ers' Jimmy Garoppolo on throwing with an injured thumb: 'F--k, it hurts'
Jimmy Garoppolo threw the football on Tuesday, trying to see where he is in his recovery from a torn ligament and chipped bone in his right thumb. The San Francisco 49ers quarterback spoke with reporters before Wednesday's practice and was asked how his hand feels after that throwing session.

San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan jumped on a conference call with reporters on Monday, one day after his team's thrilling playoff-clinching 27-24 overtime road win over the Los Angeles Rams. He provided several injury updates.
Trent Williams, tackle
Williams did not play on Sunday. He was inactive due to an elbow injury. Shanahan says Williams will be doing everything he can to play against the Cowboys. However, the coach didn't sound optimistic that his starting left tackle would practice on Wednesday.
"He wasn't going to be in good enough shape to protect himself [on Sunday] or the quarterback in the game," Shanahan said. "That was tough on him, but I think he was as excited as anyone after we won because I know he's going to

K'Waun Williams, one of the best slot corners in the league, came off the reserve/COVID-19 list on Saturday, the day before the San Francisco 49ers' regular-season finale against the Los Angeles Rams. He did not play in that game, though. A report from NBC Sports Bay Area indicated the cornerback wasn't feeling well enough to do so.

"K'Waun's one of the top nickels in the
