This news shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone.

The San Francisco 49ers have excused quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo from this week's three-day mandatory minicamp, which kicks off on Tuesday. The minicamp was initially slated for next week but was pushed up in the offseason schedule.


Garoppolo is still rehabbing from the shoulder surgery he underwent on March 8 and continues to rehab away from the team. He isn't expected to begin throwing until the end of this month, possibly early July.


The 49ers have made it clear that they still intend to try to trade Garoppolo. The team made every effort earlier in the offseason until the quarterback's surgery halted trade talks.

Last week, general manager John Lynch said that he expects trade discussions for Garoppolo to resume once the quarterback is healthy.

San Francisco traded for Garoppolo in 2017. The veteran quarterback has passed for 11,162 yards with 66 touchdowns and 38 interceptions in his four-and-a-half seasons with the team. Last year's No. 3 overall pick, Trey Lance, is widely expected to be the 49ers' starting quarterback for Week 1 of the 2022 season.
