Nick Mullens will start Sunday for 49ers

With starting quarterback ​Jimmy Garoppolo sidelined with an ankle injury, less-handsome backup QB Nick Mullens is set to start Sunday's game against the New York Giants​. 

#49ers coach Kyle Shanahan made it official: Nick Mullens will start at QB on Sunday, he tells @knbrmurph on KNBR.

The word on the street is the team hopes to have Garoppolo back next week, as his ankle injury isn't as bad as originally thought. But they also don't want to put him out on that godforsaken turf, that has had so many complaints.
