When San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo went down with a foot injury in Week 13, the team turned to rookie quarterback Brock Purdy to lead them for the rest of the season.Since taking over as the team's starter, Purdy is 5-0 and has helped the team win the NFC West. While Garoppolo's original prognosis was that he would be done for the season, he avoided Lisfrance surgery. He was then expected to be active around the conference championship weekend.Adam Schefter@AdamSchefterSources: Doctors concluded today that 49ers' QB Jimmy Garoppolo does not need foot surgery, it is not a Lisfranc injury, and if rehab goes smoothly, he could have a chance to return in 7-8 weeks, making him a potential playoff contributor.168021978Sources: Doctors concluded today that 49ers' QB Jimmy Garoppolo does not need foot surgery, it is not a Lisfranc injury, and if rehab goes smoothly, he could have a chance to return in 7-8 weeks, making him a potential playoff contributor. https://t.co/beYu1Pa9KUThat didn't matter as it was reported that the Niners are committed to Purdy and would have Garoppolo serve as his backup during their Super Bowl run.Fox Sports' Jay Glazer broke the news, saying that the team is committed to Purdy as its starter moving forward."Well, here's the deal. So Jimmy Garoppolo really attacking his rehab aggressively wants to get cleared on time to actually return later on this postseason. 49ers, they're holding out hope that he could actually return NFC Championship game, maybe the Super Bowl if they make it that far. However, I want to put 49ers fans at ease right now. If he returns, it has to be a backup, to backup Brock Purdy. Not to be the starter again.
