49ers Brock Purdy will remain starting QB the rest of the playoffs, even if Jimmy Garoppolo is cleared to play, according to reports. Today we will discuss about Jimmy Garoppolo: What team does play for| What happened to.
What team does play for
Jimmy Garoppolo is the starting quarterback for the NFL team San Francisco 49ers. The New England Patriots received Jimmy Garoppolo to the San Francisco 49ers in exchange for an NFL draft spot. He maintained a perfect record of wins in the first seven consecutive starts of his career. He even led the 49ers to a Super Bowl match in 2019, where they lost to the Kansas City Chiefs. The 49ers were up by 10 points with seven minutes left but the Chiefs turned the game around. Garipolo currently holds a passer rating of 98.9.
What happened to
Coach Kyle Shanahan announced shortly after the game that Garoppolo had broken his foot and would require surgery which would sideline him for the remainder of 2022.
Foot Injury
Garoppolo suffered his season-ending injury in Week 13 against the Dolphins. After taking a sack on San Francisco’s first drive of Sunday’s win, Garoppolo was seen keeping his lower body on the sidelines.
Broken Foot Surgery
Garoppolo would require surgery that would sideline him for the remainder of 2022. But The doctors concluded that Jimmy G did not need foot surgery. He did not suffer Lisfranc’s injury, and if rehab goes according to plan, Garopolo could be back in seven to eight weeks.

FAQs
How did Jimmy G get hurt?
The injury occurred at the 11:22 mark of the first quarter when two Dolphins, Jalen Phillips and Jerome Baker, both took Garoppolo down for a sack. Garoppolo’s left leg was awkwardly trapped under Phillips as he went down.
Why isn’t Garoppolo playing?
With Garoppolo working his way back from a broken left foot, and the injury not requiring surgery, it appears that there is at least some chance that he can return during the playoffs unless he suffers a major injury. Also survives shocks. Brock Purdy takes over as San Francisco’s starting quarterback, at least for the time being.
