here's something that should make people smile... jimmy garoppolo has already and comeback. for the first time since suffering that gruesome season ending injury against the chiefs,the 49ers franchise quarterback...talked with the media today at team headquarters. we have a ton of positive updates to report... he had his surgery a weeks ago, and will be walking on crutches for the next 2-weeks before walking again. even though he's not on the field, he's still been around the team...attending meetings, watching film and helping cj beathard. --let's hear from jimmy g..on that painful play and his mindset during recovery. . "i've always been pretty cautious, so that was kind of the freak accident of the play. i don't know if it was just instinct or what to cut back like that, but it was, it is what it is. so your style of play will maybe alter initially, but eventually, everyone keeps telling me you'll get back to how your legs were before, just as strong, if not stronger, so it's just all about putting in the work right now. coming back stronger than i was before mentally being better and just overall being better."

"you can't relax, we must stay vigilant in all areas. we've got a great challenge against an aggressive oakland defense, a defense that's tough to figure out that's got guys all over the field. some older, some younger so it'll be a tough challenge.""he still creates a lot of offense when nothing's there and that's what i think the great quarterbacks do. they don't just make the throws and fix plays at the line of scrimmage. when there's no blocking or nobody open, he can still make big plays. he's a great competitor and scrambler and i'm sure a lot of stanford faithful will be excited to see him again."

finally, finally, speaking of stanford, the cardinal in a matchup with some serious pac-12 title implications. david shaw's club...welcoming the 14th-ranked washington state cougars to the farm. wazzu...is 6-and-1... and leads the nation in passing yards. stanford... a solid 5-and-2, and a victory would keep them in the running to win the north division. and cal, will be hosting the washington huskies. that wraps up kron4 news at 6. we'll see you tonight at 8.... on your bay area's local news station.
