The 49ers given triple injury boost ahead of Green Bay contest
Jimmy Garoppolo had been placed on the San Francisco 49ers' injury report earlier in the week but looks set to play at the weekend.
Jimmy Garoppolo appears set to be available for Saturday's NFC divisional round clash with the Green Bay Packers despite an injury scare, according to San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan.
The 49ers quarterback was not listed on the franchise's injury report on Thursday and is expected to play through a sprained right shoulder and thumb.
San Francisco had more good news with linebacker Fred Warner also not on the injury report after a sprained right ankle while defensive end Nick Bosa is close to clearing concussion protocols to mark his return.
"He threw the ball great. He's looked as good as he did the week before," Shanahan said about Garoppolo.
"Jimmy's been playing through some things. But that's why he's full go because he's good enough to go and we don't treat it any differently."
Garoppolo had been added to the 49ers injury report on Monday with Shanahan revealing he had a "slightly" sprained throwing shoulder from the 23-17 win over the Dallas Cowboys.
The QB offered no guarantees on Tuesday and was limited in practice that day but was listed as a full participant on Wednesday and Thursday.
"It's playoff football," Garoppolo said earlier in the week. "We know what time it is and there ain't no time to rest right now."
