Jimmy Garoppolo injury update: Will the QB be ready for the NFC Championship Game?

Brock Purdy has earned the starting quarterback job for the San Francisco 49ers, that doesn't look like it will change in the game or maybe two games that this team has left in the playoffs. However, that doesn't mean it won't be of interest to see if Jimmy Garoppolo can return to being an option this Sunday when they face the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC Championship Game.

According to 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan's own words, the expectation is that Jimmy Garoppolo will not practice this week and that after an X-rays exam on Tuesday will have more clarity but that the likelihood is very limited for the former New England Patriots player to be activated in the George Halas Trophy game.
