Jimmy Garoppolo sustained a left-knee injury just before a sideline hit Sunday during the 49ers’ fourth-quarter comeback attempt, and the 49ers are proceeding as though it’s a season-ending tear of his anterior cruciate ligament.
The 49ers’ aspirations for the 2018 season went out the door Sunday when quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo — trying to make a play with his team down two touchdowns in the fourth quarter — decided to not run out of bounds, planted his left leg on the Kansas City Chiefs’ 11-yard line, and had his left knee buckle.
