Report: Jimmy Garoppolo still dealing with shoulder pain, lack of mobility
The New England Patriots may be holding out hope that they can get Jimmy Garoppolo back under center for Week 4, but his body reportedly isn’t quite cooperating.
CSN New England’s Michael Giardi reported Tuesday that Garoppolo is still dealing with pain in his throwing shoulder and has yet to regain full mobility there.

The Patriots reportedly hope to have Garoppolo for Week 4. What we don’t know is how effective he will be if he even suits up. He has been practicing, but if that throwing shoulder is still stiff, it might be better to go with Jacoby Brissett, presuming he’s healthy enough to start.
