Jimmy Garoppolo is expected to have shoulder surgery soon and will be out until the summer, according to sources.
Garoppolo was hurt in the second quarter of the Niners' wild-card win over Dallas. Garoppolo's thumb injury won't require surgery, according to sources.
Garoppolo is likely to be traded this month despite his shoulder injury, according to sources. There is significant interest in Garoppolo from multiple teams.
Garoppolo is expected to resume throwing before the July 4 holiday. Garoppolo would be available to begin working with his new staff if a trade is made.
