San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo will miss the rest of the 2022 NFL season after breaking his left foot in a 33-17 win over the Miami Dolphins on Sunday.

Garoppolo got up slowly after being sacked by Jerome Baker and Jaelan Phillips on third down on San Francisco's first drive. He went into the injury tent before being taken by cart to the locker room.

The NFC West-leading Niners ruled him out for at least the rest of the game, and coach Kyle Shanahan announced that Garoppolo's foot was broken after the game.

Rookie Brock Purdy replaced Garoppolo to start the second drive and threw two touchdown passes in the game to help the 49ers beat Miami 33-17. Purdy had thrown just nine passes this season in mop-up duty of a blowout loss to Kansas City in Week 7.
