49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo played through a thumb injury in Sunday’s 27-24 overtime win vs. the Los Angeles Rams, but did so carefully.
During Sunday’s game, Garoppolo hilariously dodged a high five from 49ers guard Laken Tomlinson just in time.
Tomlinson ran over to Jimmy G and was about to give him a celebratory high five, but Garoppolo quickly pulled back to avoid any contact.
Powering through the injury to his right thumb, Garoppolo completed 23-of-32 passes for 316 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions.
Garoppolo initially sustained the injury in the 49ers' 20-17 loss to the Tennessee Titans on Dec. 23.
