Quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo underwent foot surgery in March after signing with the Las Vegas Raiders, according to The Athletic. 

Garoppolo arrived at the Raiders’ facility in mid-March to sign his contract, a three-year, $72.75 million deal that included $45 million in guaranteed money, but his physical held up the process. 

The Raiders didn’t like what they saw in Garoppolo’s foot, which was broken during a San Francisco 49ers’ win over the Miami Dolphins. 

Garoppolo’s injury led to the emergence of Brock Purdy, the last pick of the 2022 NFL Draft who led the 49ers to two postseason wins.

Garoppolo could’ve gotten surgery when he initially fractured it, but the 49ers’ medical staff didn’t believe it was necessary. The Raiders’ staff thought he needed it. 

Garoppolo and the Raiders agreed on a contract, and he was introduced as the next quarterback in Sin City after former Raiders QB Derek Carr signed with the New Orleans Saints.

After his introduction, where Garoppolo explained his excitement and determination to win in Las Vegas, he underwent surgery. 

Now, the big question is whether Garoppolo will be ready for the season. Head coach Josh McDaniels didn’t seem too concerned about Garoppolo's status. 

"We don’t play a game for 100 days," he said, via The Associated Press. "Everything that’s happened since we signed Jimmy, we knew ahead of time.
