According to ESPN on Tuesday, “Jimmy G” will not have to undergo surgery for his foot injury suffered during Sunday’s game against the Miami Dolphins.
Initially, the club’s head coach, Kyle Shanahan, spoke of fractures and an immediate end to the season for the one who replaced Trey Lance at the start of the campaign as pivot number 1.
However, the extent of the damage would be less, so the former New England Patriots can expect a return to competition in seven or eight weeks.
For the moment, Brock Purdy finds himself at the controls of the offensive of the Californian formation. He had 210 yards and two touchdowns in the 33-17 win over the Dolphins.
San Francisco is 8-4 and tops the National Conference West Division. The team will face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday.
