San Francisco @ Green Bay
Team Totals: Packers 26.5, 49ers 20.5
Potentially exacerbated by visiting bitter cold Lambeau for a night game, Jimmy Garoppolo’s health is a legitimate concern as he enters the Divisional Round nursing injuries to his right (throwing) thumb and shoulder. Garoppolo admitted publicly this week that “every throw was impacted” following his late second-quarter shoulder injury in Week 19’s win over Dallas, and he went 3-of-11 passing for 39 yards with a pick after going down. With Garoppolo’s grip and ball location both fair to question on the Frozen Tundra, no one should be surprised if we see Trey Lance at some point Saturday night. At very least, we should expect Kyle Shanahan to deploy Jimmy G as a strict game manager. … Regardless of Garoppolo’s health, the 49ers’ best shot at sustaining Divisional Round offense is on the ground via bursty bellcow Elijah Mitchell, who’s logged 21-plus touches in six straight games and banked his second-highest snap rate of the season (71%) in last week’s win.
