Jimmy Garoppolo is out for the season with a torn ACL. He is not allowed to be on the sideline during games, to avoid risking further injury.
Perhaps former 49ers general manager Scot McCloughan doesn’t know that. During the 49ers’ Monday night loss to the Giants, McCloughan took to Twitter to criticize Garoppolo for not being on the field with his teammates.
McCloughan also tweeted a picture of Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz on crutches on the sideline in what we assume was an effort to strengthen his point. The photo in question, however, shows Wentz on the field before the game.
Why is Jimmy G in a suite when all his teammates are on the field fighting to get a W?

McCloughan was the 49ers’ vice president of player personnel from 2005-07, and the team’s general manager from 2008-09.
