Garoppolo was hit by Chiefs cornerback Steven Nelson, and the Niners' franchise quarterback appeared to be in quite a bit of pain right afterwards.
Here's a look at the play:
Garoppolo made his way to the blue injury tent and later was carted off the sidelines. News of his injury will come along in time.
No. 2 quarterback C.J. Beathard relieved Garoppolo and subsequently hit tight end George Kittle for a would-be touchdown. But the score was negated by what was arguably a ticky-tack offensive pass-interference call against tight end Kyle Juszczyk.
Stay tuned with more news about Garoppolo's injury, along with the swarm of other injuries the Niners suffered in the contest.
