Garoppolo was praised for his work during the offseason, fine-tuning the offense for Matthew Stafford's return. Stafford credited Garoppolo's work when he came back from injury, speaking on watching Garoppolo while dealing with the frustration of not playing.

“It's challenging," stated Stafford. "All I want to do is practice, play, get out there and be with the guys. I wasn't able to do that, obviously. It was hard because I wanted to be out there but at the same time, it was actually awesome to watch [Quarterback] Jimmy [Garoppolo] do his thing. Honestly, [Quarterback] Stetson [Bennett] got a million more reps in camp so from a team standpoint, we have a lot of guys with a lot of experience."

"I thought Jimmy did a hell of the job and I appreciate the hell out of him, but it's difficult. I've played a bunch of games in this league. I still love playing and all I want to do is be out there and practice and play with these guys so it's been fun the last couple days to be home.”

Limited

Kevin Dotson (Ankle)

Dotson is trending towards playing but Sean McVay will confirm what his status will be on Friday.

“He's a mountain of a man," stated Matthew Stafford on Dotson's potential return. "He's a beast. When he was playing this year, I thought he was one of the best guards, if not the best guard in the league. If we can get him back, that would be a huge boost. His physicality, his ability to go out there and play is great, but also just the energy he brings. If you guys see him celebrating sometimes when we do good stuff… He's a great guy to have out there and be around. If not, I thought [Offensive Lineman Justin] Dedich played really well last week and we'll roll with him again.”
