Jeff Garcia didn't see his first action of the preseason until the team's third exhibition game,and as expected, he was rusty. Rototimes sources report that not only was Garcia intercepted twice in the first half, he could have been intercepted on two other occasions. One of the interceptions was in the endzone from a redzone position. He did throw a touchdown pass to Michael Clayton. The veteran quarterback needed to play against Houston in the preseason finale, but didn't.Rototimes ources report that while he's veteran savvy, he's unprepared for the regular season after only 32 snaps in one preseason game. Additionally the 38-year-old depends on being mobile and he's still gimpy from a Training Camp with calf injury.
