Jimmy Garoppolo Injury: Dealing with back injury

Garoppolo did not participate in Thursday's practice due to a back injury, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.

The back issue is a new one for Garoppolo and the first time he's appeared on an injury report this season. Friday's practice report will provide more clarity on his status for Sunday's NFC divisional-round game against the Bears, but if Garoppolo is unable to play, then Stetson Bennett would be in line to serve as the Rams' backup quarterback behind Matthew Stafford.
