As Brock Purdy takes over, 49ers hope Jimmy Garoppolo has avoided Lisfranc injury

The 49ers have already ruled Jimmy Garoppolo out for the rest of this season with the foot fracture he suffered in Sunday’s 33-17 win over Miami, but precise details of the injury — which might have a significant impact on his upcoming free agency — remain undetermined. “They were talking about that a lot last night, but it seems like that they’re starting to believe that it isn’t, so that is good news, but it’s not all for sure done yet,” Shanahan said on a conference call with local media Monday afternoon. “We have to discuss more this afternoon, but I’ve always been a fan of his, but I feel real good about our players and we’ll look into everything, but I feel pretty good with where we’re at right now.” The 49ers’ preference at this point is a quarterback who’s already familiar with Shanahan’s system, and that’s why they eagerly nabbed Johnson in the immediate aftermath of Garoppolo’s injury. “Missing practice all week, you get concerned about the stamina and about some of the route running, but once Deebo said he was good to go, Deebo is not messing around.” GO DEEPER 49ers minutia minute: Arik Armstead's low snaps, big impact; Jordan Mason shines • Shanahan again expressed confidence in the 49ers’ ability to continue competing for a title even with Lance and Garoppolo unavailable and Purdy in that quarterback role. No one thinks any differently than we have all along.” Shanahan said Purdy’s leadership style resonates with the 49ers’ locker room.
