Niners optimistic Garoppolo will play ... next week

San Francisco is all but certain to be without QB JIMMY GAROPPOLO today -- the 49ers activated NATE SUDFELD from their practice squad on Saturday, and rookie TREY LANCE is widely expected to start this afternoon vs. Houston -- but Garoppolo may not be down as long as previously thought. Per ESPN's Adam Schefter, the QB could return to action as soon as next week (at the Rams), torn UCL in his throwing thumb notwithstanding. In any case, Lance's rushing upside makes him appealing as a fill-in against a bad team.
