There were many interesting moves made in the NFL this offseason, especially at quarterback.
One of the most impactful moves was the Las Vegas Raiders signing Jimmy Garoppolo.
The former 49ers quarterback now gets the opportunity to run his team in Las Vegas.
But Garoppolo has always had trouble staying on the field.
That has not changed since signing with the Raiders.
According to Adam Schefter, Garoppolo has spent all offseason recovering from a foot injury.
He passed his training camp physical and will be ready for the start of camp.
Raiders’ QB Jimmy Garoppolo, who spent his off-season recovering from a foot injury, did in fact pass his training camp physical and is expected to begin training camp with his teammates, per league source. Raiders are not placing him on the Physically Unable to Perform list.

This is great news for the Raiders as they need Garoppolo healthy this year.
For the Raiders to make anything of this season they need Garoppolo to play every game.
Despite his limitations as a passer, Jimmy G has been a winner in his career.
He has made 57 career starts and owns a 40-17 career record.
But his upcoming season could be the most difficult of Garoppolo’s career.
He will be playing in the toughest division in football in the AFC West.
This means the Raiders will have to win at least 10 games to be a playoff team.
Garoppolo has a nice plethora of skilled players to work with in Las Vegas.
He has an elite WR1 in Davante Adams and one of the best running backs in football in Josh Jacobs.
Also, being able to work with Josh McDaniels could get the best out of Garoppolo.
They worked together when Jimmy G started his career in New England.
It will be interesting to see if Garoppolo can help lead the Raiders back to the playoffs.
