Jimmy Garoppolo return seems unlikely

Jimmy Garoppolo return seems unlikely

The 49ers’ injury situation is in a spot where no news is good news for them on their practice participation report.

Quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo and cornerback Ambry Thomas are still out, and the three limited participants from Wednesday were still limited in Thursday’s session.

It wouldn’t be great news if Samson Ebukam, Javon Kinlaw and Jauan Jennings were all limited Friday as well, but from Wednesday to Thursday the goal is to avoid setbacks. It would’ve been a bad sign had any of those three limited participants been a non-participant Thursday. Instead, they’re on course to possibly suit up Sunday.

Here’s the full participation report from Thursday:

At this point it’s hard to imagine Garoppolo being ready for the NFC championship. Janoris Jenkins should be up again with Thomas likely out.
