Coach Josh McDaniels’ Opening Statement: “So, update before we get going on Jimmy [Garoppolo]. There was some concern yesterday that there was an internal issue. We did a bunch of scans yesterday and last night. It seems like we’ve dodged a big bullet in that regard,so that’s good news. We’re still doing a couple things this morning and we’ll kind of make sure we do all the right things here as we go forward. But the prognosis is a lot better than it might have otherwise been. We don’t know yet for this week, relatively speaking. So, there’s a lot still to, I’d say, uncover in that regard. But it’s good news relative to what it might have been. Other than that, we’ve got some bumps and bruises, some things like that. Roderic [Teamer] couldn’t come back in the game. But other than that, it’s just a lot of bumps and bruises. And as I said after the game, I liked the fight of our team. We had some stretches of good complimentary football. Certainly, being able to pin them back there at the end and then play good defense to try to finish the game and then a good special teams play there to handle the onside kick after a safety concept. Hunter [Renfrow] handled that the way we wanted to. And then there is plenty for us to improve on, obviously in all three phases so that we can play our best football as we go forward here. There is a lot to clean up and a lot to work on. I’m happy we’re doing it after a victory. Again, I’m proud of the way our team competed.”
