Jimmy Garoppolo - Puts in another limited session Garoppolo (thumb) was limited at practice Thursday, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports. Impact Garoppolo has opened Week 18 prep with back-to-back capped sessions as he attempts to see if he's able to play through a Grade 3 UCL sprain and fracture in his right thumb. According to both David Lombardi of The Athletic and Matt Barrows of The Athletic, Garoppolo seemed to be his normal self, throwing more passes than he did Wednesday, with some of them going 35-to-40 yards downfield. Garoppolo may enter the weekend as questionable to play at the Rams, but even if coach Kyle Shanahan knows Garoppolo will reclaim the starting role from rookie Trey Lance, he won't let the decision be known until Sunday, per Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area.
