San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo is in the concussion protocol after suffering a head injury during last week’s game against the Seattle Seahawks. This has raised questions about whether he will be able to play in the upcoming game against the Las Vegas Raiders.
Garoppolo was injured during the fourth quarter of the game against the Seahawks, and was taken out of the game for evaluation. He was later diagnosed with a concussion, and has since been placed in the NFL’s concussion protocol. This means that he must pass a series of tests before he can be cleared to play in the upcoming game against the Raiders.
The 49ers have not yet made an official announcement about Garoppolo’s status for the game, but it is likely that he will not be able to play. If he is unable to play, backup quarterback Nick Mullens will likely take his place. Mullens has seen limited action this season, but has performed well when given the opportunity.
The potential absence of Garoppolo could have a major impact on the game against the Raiders. Garoppolo is one of the most important players on the 49ers roster, and his presence on the field is a major advantage for the team. Without him, the 49ers could struggle to move the ball down the field and score points.
The 49ers will be hoping that Garoppolo is able to pass the concussion protocol tests and be cleared to play in time for the game against the Raiders. If he is unable to do so, they will have to rely on Mullens to lead them to victory. It will be an interesting game regardless of who is under center for the 49ers.
