49ers' Jimmy Garoppolo (knee) confirmed by MRI to have torn ACL
San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo (knee) had an MRI confirm he tore his ACL on Sunday.
What It Means:
The Niners' quarterback also suffered some damage to his MCL, but the ligament remains intact. The injury, as expected will end Garoppolo's 2018 season. He should make a full recovery in time to start in Week 1 of 2019. C.J. Beathard will take over the starting duties for San Francisco the rest of the year.
Garoppolo's 2018 season ends with the QB throwing for 718 yards and 5 touchdowns with 3 interceptions on 89 pass attempts.
