Head coach Kyle Shanahan on Friday announced to media in a video conference after practice that quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo will start for San Francisco against the Dolphins in Week 5.
Garoppolo missed the last two games with a high ankle sprain that he sustained early in Week 2 vs. the Jets. He finished the first half of that game but never came back out of the locker room after halftime.
He didn’t practice at all leading up to Weeks 3 and 4, but returned Wednesday on a limited basis. He was limited Thursday as well.
Garoppolo in six quarters this season completed 67.3 percent of his throws for 390 yards, four touchdowns and no interceptions. He was sitting at 8.0 yards per attempt and a 118.6 quarterback rating
