Welcome to game day!
The San Francisco 49ers take on the Denver Broncos later today and we’ll get our first look at Jimmy Garoppolo for 2019 (maybe). Beyond that, with all the sits in Week 1, we may see some more of the starters trickle in for this second preseason game.
I wouldn’t be surprised if none of the starters play that much, if at all. The 49ers have three preseason games in a small time frame. For durability concerns and because of ‘ole Ivan the Injury, they may want to keep the starters in bubble wrap. Especially when you consider the injury issues the team has.
I got some links here for you. See you all in a few hours.
