The Facts: Already playing through a torn ligament in his right thumb, Garoppolo suffered another injury in Sunday's victory over the Dallas Cowboys. This time, Garoppolo is dealing with what HC Kyle Shanahan called Monday a "slightly" sprained right (throwing) shoulder.

Diehards Line: Garoppolo joins linebacker Fred Warner (sprained right ankle) and defensive end Nick Bosa (concussion) on the list of key Niners nursing injuries to watch this week as the team prepares for Saturday night's NFC divisional-round game against the Green Bay Packers. The good news, according to Shanahan, is that Warner and Garoppolo should be ready to go against Green Bay. In fact, Shanahan believes Garoppolo will be able to practice when the team resumes those sessions on Tuesday. "He should be fine for practice," Shanahan said. "He had to play through some pain and stuff, but he ended up checking out all right. Just a slight shoulder sprain and he should be good for [Tuesday's] practice." Bosa's status is more uncertain because he must clear the necessary steps of the concussion protocol in order to play. Bosa suffered his concussion just before halftime of San Francisco's 23-17 win against Dallas.
