Raiders' Jimmy Garoppolo Has No Restrictions Amid Foot Injury Rehab, per McDaniels

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo has "no restrictions" heading into training camp after recovering from a broken left foot, head coach Josh McDaniels told reporters Tuesday.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reported Sunday that Garoppolo passed his physical with the Raiders and was expected to be ready for the start of training camp.

Garoppolo, who spent the last six seasons of his career with the San Francisco 49ers, missed the final eight games of the 2022 campaign after suffering a broken foot in a Week 13 matchup against the Miami Dolphins.

The 31-year-old signed a three-year, $72.75 million contract with the Raiders in March and underwent foot surgery shortly after. His deal included a waiver that stated the franchise could terminate his contract if he did not pass his physical.

Garoppolo is a solid quarterback when healthy, but he has hit numerous injury roadblocks over his nine-year career and has played one full season just once, which came during the 2019 campaign when he led the Niners to the Super Bowl.

He completed 69.1 percent of his passes for 3,978 yards and 27 touchdowns against 13 interceptions in 16 games during the 2019 season, which was his best in the league.

The Eastern Illinois product tore his ACL just three games into the 2018 campaign and also appeared in six games during the 2020 season due to a pair of high right ankle sprains. He played 15 games in 2021 but dealt with a fractured right thumb and sprained right shoulder.

Now in Las Vegas, the Raiders are hoping Garoppolo can stay healthy and lead the franchise into the postseason for just the second time since the franchise moved to the desert from Oakland during the 2020 campaign.

Garoppolo will replace Derek Carr, who was released by the Raiders this offseason following nine seasons with the franchise. If he misses any time in 2023, Brian Hoyer figures to see time as the franchise's starting quarterback. Aidan O'Connell and Chase Garbers are also available.
