49ers' bench Jimmy Garoppolo (ankle) for C.J. Beathard at halftime of Week 5's game against Miami
San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo was benched to start the second half of Week 5's game against the Miami Dolphins.
What It Means:
Garoppolo is being replaced by C.J. Beathard "to protect him" according to the 49ers. Garoppolo struggled in his first game back following a multi-week absence with an ankle injury, completing just 7 of 17 attempts for 77 yards and 2 interceptions. Beathard impressed in limited action in Week 4, completing 14 of 19 attempts for 138 yards. He will now attempt to dig the 49ers out of a 23-point hole in the second half.
Garoppolo will end Week 5 with a quarterback rating of 15.7.
