Jimmy Garoppolo and Fred Warner didn’t look phased by their injuries in the 49ers’ first practice this week for Saturday’s playoff game at Green Bay.
SANTA CLARA — Sprained thumb? Jimmy Garoppolo overcame it in an overtime win over the Rams. Sprained shoulder? He played through that — albeit not too great — in Sunday’s cliff-hanging win over the Cowboys.
As has been the case since Garoppolo’s Dec. 23 thumb injury — involving a torn ligament and bone chip — the 49ers surely will have ready rookie Trey Lance for action. Lance played the entirety of a Jan. 2 win over Houston, but Garoppolo has taken every snap the last two games. Shanahan downplayed what was in the past and focused more on the present, adding: “Everyone knows Aaron is the man. But this doesn’t have to do with the last time we met in the playoffs and it doesn’t have to do with our game earlier this year. It’s one game, it’s Saturday, it’s 3 ½ hours, and it’s this team vs. their team.”
He exited Dallas’ artificial turf with 8 1/2 minutes left, just before the Cowboys pulled within 23-17. “It was change of direction. My cleat got stuck in the turf and my ankle folded underneath itself, similar to what happened in Cincinnati,” Garoppolo said. “After that it was sheer pain. It’s over now, for sure.”
