San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle
Shanahan said Friday the team agreed to allow quarterback Jimmy
Garoppolo to work separately while awaiting a potential trade.
Garoppolo has been cleared for football
activities after undergoing surgery in March, but the Niners decided
to move forward with 2021 first-round pick Trey Lance as the new
leader of their offense.
In turn, Shanahan explained the team’s
former starter didn’t desire full involvement in the 49ers’ preseason
preparations, which is why he’s been practicing off to the side.
“We made it the best for both,” Shanahan told reporters. “I mean, if Jimmy wanted to be in every
single meeting and wanted to do everything, for sure we would let
him. I would guess that isn’t what he would want, totally. And when
we asked him, that was accurate—he didn’t totally want that. So
he’s just trying to get his body ready for hopefully the next
situation he goes into.”
