Ex-49ers QB Jimmy Garoppolo underwent foot surgery in March
One of the biggest criticisms about Jimmy Garoppolo has been his availability. The quarterback wins football games but has been available for an entire season just once in his career—in 2019.
Garoppolo's latest injury occurred on December 4 while with the San Francisco 49ers. The veteran left a regular-season game against the Miami Dolphins with a foot injury. It was later revealed that he suffered a broken foot and would miss significant time. However, it wasn't believed to require surgery.
That led to the emergence of Brock Purdy, the seventh-round draft pick that took the NFL by storm. He led the 49ers to the NFC Championship Game before suffering an injury himself.
Garoppolo remained on the 49ers' 53-man roster through all that. The 49ers
Is 49ers QB Trey Lance getting better? And is it because of his new teacher? One expert shares his thoughts

49ers' Dre Greenlaw recovering from finger procedure, hopes to be a more involved blitzer under Steve Wilks
Dre Greenlaw underwent a minor procedure after last season on his finger. The San Francisco 49ers linebacker is still working his way through the recovery process. That's why he's not with his teammates during organized team activities (OTAs).
"Yeah, nothing major," Greenlaw said Thursday on KNBR's Papa & Lund show. "Just a little clean up in the thumb. [It] was giving me some problems, just whenever I was punching at the ball or whenever I had to use my hands on O-linemen. [My] finger was just really jammed up, so I just had to get it cleaned up and fixed.
"It's going really well right now, so I'm just waiting, I guess. Now, I think they're going to keep me out of OTAs for the most part, just because you don't want any setbacks right now. But it's
Evaluating every 49ers rookie's role in 2023

The San Francisco 49ers had a unique draft, making nine selections, but making their first selection in the third round.
However, they made three third-round selections, including a trade up to No. 87 for Penn State safety Ji'Ayir Brown.
With a good number of selections, but only starting in the third round, how will the 49ers utilize their rookies in 2023?
S Ji'Ayir Brown
The 49ers' top selection was Penn State safety Ji'Ayir Brown, who the team moved up 15 spots to take.
Brown was a draft favorite of mine, as he possessed good instincts and ball skills in coverage, as well as his quick close speed.
He profiles as a similar athlete to Talanoa Hufanga, and could be a contributor in Year 1, as he's the most
