49ers Still Weighing Options on Jimmy Garoppolo's Ankle
After undergoing additional testing on Monday, it was determined that Jimmy Garoppolo suffered a completely new, and worse sprain than the initial injury suffered earlier in the season.
"He essentially had a whole new one, just on the same foot," Kyle Shanahan revealed on Tuesday. "When you have those high ankle sprains, you re-injure them a lot.
