Jimmy Garoppolo defends himself from injury-prone label

Jimmy Garoppolo

Is Jimmy Garoppolo injury-prone?

The San Francisco 49ers quarterback suffered a season-ending ACL injury in Week 3, and that has apparently caused some people to worry about his long-term stability. Garoppolo clearly sees the injury as a one-off, and fought back against that narrative on Friday.

There isn’t really any evidence to support the notion of Garoppolo as injury-prone. While serious, his injury was rather fluky and not the result of any injury proneness. He should return next year and there’s no reason to believe he won’t be fully healthy and ready to contribute, just as Carson Wentz came back from a similar injury this year.
