According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo is expected to be sidelined at least six weeks after re-aggravating his high ankle sprain in Sunday’s loss to the Seahawks.
Schefter is also reporting Garoppolo could be out even longer if it is determined he needs surgery.
In 6 starts for San Francisco this year, the 29-year-old has completed 67.1% of his passes for 1,096 yards, 7 touchdowns, and 5 interceptions.
Nick Mullens — who started two games earlier this season — replaced Garoppolo and is expected to be the starter going forward
