Raiders quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo has passed his physical ahead of training camp after recovering from offseason foot surgery, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports. Las Vegas will not place Garoppolo on the PUP list, allowing the quarterback to participate fully in practice.
After Garoppolo signed a three-year contract with the Raiders in March, the quarterback needed to undergo surgery to further repair his broken foot from last season.
