Garoppolo still with Niners after latest round of roster cuts
The San Francisco 49ers went through another round of roster cuts with quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo still on the roster.
The Niners reduced the active roster from 85 players to 80 on Tuesday without making a move with Garoppolo, their former starter who has spent all training camp working out on his own while San Francisco tries to find a trade partner.
Coach Kyle Shanahan said “any scenario is possible” in terms of whether the Niners trade, keep or release Garoppolo but added that he has recovered from offseason shoulder surgery.
General manager John Lynch told the team's flagship radio station KNBR that he feels like a resolution is “getting pretty close.” San Francisco must reduce its roster from 80 players to 53 next Tuesday.

On Thursday, Lance -- and most of the 49ers’ starters -- is scheduled to see extended action against the Houston Texans as the 49ers wrap up the preseason.
