San Francisco 49ers’ quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo looks to be on the right track recovering from an ACL injury that cost him the majority of 2018 season, is looking good. Although he wasn’t able to take a full part in 49er’s offseason programs so far, Garoppolo expects to be ready once the team’s training kicks off on July 26.
“I’m sure hoping so,” – Garoppolo told Pro Football Talk when asked whether he will be ready for training camp. “The training staff, the coaches, we’ve kind of put together a plan and everything like that. We’ll kind of assess the situation as we get closer to it.
“I’m good to go. Finally.” – he added.
After leading San Francisco 49ers to five wins in just as many starts in 2017, Jimmy Garoppolo signed a massive $137.5 million extension with the team during the 2018 offseason. He was expected to bring back 49ers to the playoffs in his first full year with the team, but things took a bad turn when he tore his ACL during Week 3 game against Kansas City Chiefs. Garoppolo was sidelined for the rest of the season, finishing the year with 718 yards, five touchdowns, and three interceptions.
Without Garoppolo, 49ers went on to post 3-10 record and end the season third in the NFC West.
Since coming into the league, Garoppolo played in 26 games (10 as a starter) with New England Patriots and 49ers. His career statistics include 65.4 percent pass completion for 2,968 yards and 17 touchdowns.
