The 49ers aren’t saying when quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo will get into a game, but he won’t be throwing any passes to Pierre Garçon whenever it happens.

49ers General Manager John Lynch announced that Garçon will be placed on injured reserve during an appearance on KNBR Thursday. Garçon has a neck injury and did not take part in practice on Wednesday before having further tests on the injury.

The move means that Garçon’s first season with the 49ers will end after eight games. Garçon leads the team with 40 catches and 500 yards, but didn’t find his way into the end zone.

The 49ers will move forward with Marquise Goodwin, Aldrick Robinson, Trent Taylor, Kendrick Bourne and Victor Bolden at receiver.

Dang didn't hear about this one til now. Are they really going 0-16? Dun Dun Dun... I'm guessing it's actually a good thing for them if that happens. I'm glad we are a year or two ahead of them.

Don’t get carried away, but it’s O.K. to be a little bit giddy about the Jimmy Garoppolo trade if you’re a 49ers fan. We don’t know exactly what Garoppolo is going to be. He was quite reigned in when New England beat the Cardinals in last year’s opener (his big plays were a result of obvious coverage busts), and then he looked sharp in executing a more aggressive, expansive game plan the next week against Miami before getting hurt. Basically, there’s two quarters of film to go off of.

But the Patriots’ body language is encouraging. Bill Belichick seemed desperate to keep him, which suggests he believes a coach can design an expansive offense around Garoppolo. The physical tools are there, so the question is whether he can find the coach that makes him comfortable and the system that allows him to play with confidence and ultimately thrive. It’s in Kyle Shanahan’s hands now.

The 49ers have everything working in their favor in terms of a contract. They can sign Garoppolo to a long-term deal that’s entirely to their liking, because since they’re sitting on a Browns-like amount of cap space for 2018 they can franchise-tag him with little consequence. And if they tag him and then they have to give him a record contract because he played like Aaron Rodgers in 2018, that’s not the worst problem to have.

As far as the second-rounder they gave up, they still have their first-round pick, and if it ends up being a top-two pick they can cash it in for a load of picks as teams try to get their hands on Sam Darnold or Josh Rosen, the consensus clear-cut top-two QBs right now.

On top of that, the 2018 draft is shaping up to be one that lacks elite non-QB talent but has good depth throughout. The Niners still own four picks likely to be in the top 75, as they own the Saints’ second and the Bears’ third. So it’s good to be the Niners right now. At least as long as you don’t pay attention to any of the games they play in 2017.

1b. Garoppolo is the first domino to fall in what should be an awesomely outrageous QB market this offseason. With Garoppolo and the 49ers crossed off the list, here’s how it’s shaping up:

IN DESPERATE NEED
Cleveland
Denver (probably, Paxton Lynch is the wild card)
Jacksonville
Minnesota (unless they retain Bradford or Bridgewater)
New Orleans (unless Brees gets long-term deal)
N.Y. Jets
Washington (unless Cousins gets long-term deal)

COULD (SHOULD?) BE CONSIDERING A LONG-TERM CHANGE
Baltimore
Buffalo
Cincinnati

SHOPPING FOR QB OF THE FUTURE
Arizona
L.A. Chargers
N.Y. Giants
New England
Pittsburgh

Veteran QBs potentially available: Drew Brees, Alex Smith, Kirk Cousins, Sam Bradford, Teddy Bridgewater, AJ McCarron, Tyrod Taylor

F’d UP !! I’m not a Niners fan , but the game. Staley gets hurt on a INT TD which he comes off the field bloody in the face !! No Penalty!! Also might have cost him from making a tackle ??

Then Garçon gets blast as he is going out of bounds right after that.The Niners we’re moving the ball. He gets pushed into a Philly trainer who got KNOCKED OUT on the play. How that was not a penalty & add the fact that both players could be out for th season ?

99% of the time I love seeing the whiners lose. But I guess it's okay if they win a few now just to drop lower on the draft board.

I hope they go 0-16
