The San Francisco 49ers lost quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo to a season-ending broken left foot injury Sunday, dealing a big blow to one of the the NFL's top teams.

Garoppolo got hurt on the opening drive of a 33-17 win over the Miami Dolphins and will need to undergo surgery that will sideline him for the remainder of the season.

'It's pretty crushing. We know what Jimmy's been through, how hard he´s worked at this,' coach Kyle Shanahan said after the game. 'That was a really cool game, just as a team and all the stuff that went on throughout the game and just be able to overcome some things. 

'So it's such a special win. But definitely mixed emotions hearing about Jimmy.'

The first-place 49ers (8-4) have won five straight games to establish themselves as one of the top contenders in the NFC but now must go the rest of the way with untested rookie Brock Purdy after losing starter Trey Lance to a season-ending ankle injury in Week 2.

This is the third time Garoppolo has had a season derailed by injury since joining the 49ers midway through the 2017 season. He went down with a season-ending knee injury in the third game of the 2018 season and missed eight games with ankle injuries in 2020.

In Garoppolo's two healthy seasons, the Niners went to the Super Bowl in 2019 and the NFC title game in 2021.

But his history led the Niners to trade three first-round picks to draft Lance third overall in 2021. Garoppolo kept his job last year but was supposed to move on this season before offseason shoulder surgery killed his trade market.
