Jimmy G looked okay at best Monday night, giving Lance a little more of a chance to at least steal snaps under center Week 8 at Chicago.

Trey Lance is on pace to be able to practice on Wednesday, but Kyle Shanahan says that Jimmy Garoppolo will start at Chicago.

Shanahan said he did not go into game thinking that if Garoppolo had one bad game, he would not be the starter any longer, according to other reports. And Shanahan indicated Lance, when healthy, won’t be getting more first-team reps during practice, adding, “You’re not going to start rotating quarterbacks because it’s not an open competition right now.”

49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan was asked if Jimmy Garoppolo would start again in Week 8 against the Bears.

“I would guess so,” Shanahan said, via Jennifer Lee Chan of NBCSportsBayArea.com. “I will watch this tape and see if guys are healthy, first of all, and know where our guys are at. It was good for Jimmy to get healthy enough to play in this game today.”

While it doesn't seem like a confident answer, the story did say Shanahan added that he didn’t see “a ton of bad decisions” from Garoppolo. But the story added there weren’t enough good things either and that will keep questions about the quarterback spot front and center for the 49ers. It could be an interesting decision when Lance is healthy enough to play.

49ers QB Jimmy Garoppolo (calf) will start Week 7 against the Indianapolis Colts. QB Trey Lance (knee) will not be active.

Do not expect a lot from Garoppolo if the weather is as bad as it sounds, including torrential rain.

49ers QB Jimmy Garoppolo (calf) was limited at practice Wednesday, while Trey Lance (knee) did not participate. 49ers HC Kyle Shanahan wants to limit Garoppolo so he can be a full-go Sunday against the Colts.

It looks like Jimmy G is the go-to QB for now, but Lance, when healthy, will have his plays.

According to multiple reporters at the team’s Monday practice session, Jimmy Garoppolo was on the field but Trey Lance was not.

The 49ers will not issue an injury report until Wednesday, so they don’t have to share either player’s participation level on Monday, the story said. Garoppolo is dealing with a calf injury while Lance has a knee injury. Before the team's bye, the Niners said they expected Jimmy G to be ready for Week 7 and at this point he seems on track.

During a Tuesday appearance on KNBR, Kyle Shanahan said he believes Jimmy Garoppolo will be healthy enough to play in Week 7 against the Colts.

“I mean, he’s doing good,” Shanahan said, via 49ersWebZone.com. “We’ll see when we get back [after the bye week]. I think he’ll be ready to go next week when we get back. That’s the plan. I know he’s doing a lot better now than he was last week.”

Lance is dealing with a knee sprain he suffered while playing in place of Garoppolo in Sunday’s loss to the Cardinals. The team says Garoppolo will start again when healthy. The Niners have a bye in Week 6.

Kyle Shanahan says Trey Lance doesn't know when he injured knee. He had 16 carries. Prognosis: NOT a long-term injury, should be 1 to 2 week thing, but possibly just one week.

Jimmy Garoppolo may have better chance to return post-bye for Colts game but all TBD.

It's being called a left knee sprain, according to Inman. The 49ers have a bye in Week 6 and return to play the Colts in Week 7. The bad news is it's a Sunday night game, so owners will need a backup plan if they are counting on Lance or Garoppolo in Week 7. We likely won't know much more until next week.

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo missed Thursday's practice with a calf injury,

This marks two straight DNP's for Garoppolo. It is looking more and more like it will be Trey Lance under center this weekend against the Arizona Cardinals. There is still a chance Garoppolo practices tomorrow and tries to make a go of it against Arizona, so fantasy managers will want to monitor Friday's injury report before making plans to start Lance this weekend. Lance is currently our 14th ranked quarterback for Week 5.
