Garoppolo took a big hit up high, but the damage appeared to be a non-contact injury before he took the hit. He left the field on a cart.
Head coach Kyle Shanahan told reporters after the game the team fears Garoppolo tore his ACL.
Kyle Shanahan confirms they're fearing an ACL for Jimmy Garoppolo. Awful news. MRI to confirm tomorrow.
