The Facts: Garoppolo, who went on injured reserve Nov. 5 with a high-ankle sprain, hasn't practiced yet, and a source tells NFL Network's Ian Rapoport the QB won't play next week against the Arizona Cardinals. In fact, Garoppolo is considered unlikely to play again this season.

Diehards Line: While no one has completely ruled out him playing in 2020, there is still an injury risk for Garoppolo to go out on the field and play on the ankle that is still healing. Perhaps if San Francisco still had a chance at the playoffs in Week 17, Garoppolo would have a shot. Otherwise, it's hard to imagine. If there is nothing to play for, considering the offseason of uncertainty that faces Garoppolo, him staying healthy benefits all parties.
