Jimmy Garoppolo carted off with apparent knee injury

Late in today’s game against the Kansas City Chiefs SF 49ers QB Jimmy Garoppolo went down with what appeared to be a left knee injury and had to be carted off the field.

Garoppolo was running upfield on third-and-goal and because the 49ers were trailing late in the game, he tried to stay in bounds and get as many yards as he could. When Garoppolo planted his left foot to cut back upfield, it buckled and he was then hit and tackled down and be immediately reached for his knee.



The 49ers trainers came out immediately and started testing his knee and he went to the medical tent, but then was carted back to the locker room. If the injury is the worst-case scenario, it’s a horrible blow for a 49ers team that had high hopes coming into the season.

Garoppolo joined the 49ers in a midseason trade last year and he led a five-game winning streak to finish the season, which led to him signing a $137 million contract in the offseason.
