Jimmy Garoppolo Fantasy

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo (shoulder) remains on schedule in his recovery from shoulder surgery and for his timetable to resume throwing, according to a source. The expectation is that Garoppolo will throw over the next few weeks, starting in early July per head coach Kyle Shanahan, and that plan remains in place. The 30-year-old had surgery in each March, but he's expected to be ready to take part in training camp, whether it's with the Niners or another team. He hasn't done any offseason workouts, but the 49ers are likely to get serious about trading him again once he resumes throwing. Although there have been whispers that second-year signal-caller Trey Lance might not be ready for the starting job, Jimmy G is still more likely to be traded than to remain with the team for the 2022 season.

The San Francisco 49ers have excused quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo (shoulder) from their mandatory minicamp this week, according to sources. Garoppolo continues to rehab from right shoulder surgery away from the team's facilities as they explore trade options. The 30-year-old is expected to resume throwing this month, at which point interested teams might become a bit more serious about trading for the veteran signal-caller. There have been conflicting reports about whether the Niners think second-year quarterback Trey Lance is ready to take over starting duties in 2022, so we could have a bit of a QB controversy in San Francisco if Jimmy G sticks around. Still, the expectation is that Garoppolo will be playing for a new team by the start of the regular season.

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo (shoulder) remains on the roster. It's been continuously reported that the veteran would be on the move. Yet, after having surgery on his throwing shoulder, interest from other clubs fizzled. There have also been rumblings regarding Trey Lance's lack of progress, which seemed to keep the door open for Garoppolo to be the team's starter this season. However, according to new quarterbacks coach Brian Griese, Garoppolo hasn't had any contact with him. Nonetheless, there's still a chance Garoppolo stays in the Bay Area for the 2022-23 campaign. But considering he's coming off surgery and hasn't spoken with Griese, it appears Lance is the current favorite to be under center moving ahead.
