They did well to keep Jimmy Garoppolo.
Terrible news for Trey Lance and the 49ers! Injured in the game against the Seahawksthe young quarterback will not return this season.
Indeed, shortly after the game, Kyle Shanahan and the franchise announced that the player suffered a broken ankle and required surgery, which put an end to his 2022 campaign. Lance was injured on a tackle, as he tried to gain yards on the ground. His leg got stuck under two defenders.
Obviously for the young player, it is terrible news for him who took control of the team this off-season. For the 49ers, if in a short time the presence of Jimmy Garoppolo is a relief, the team “loses” a season to know if entrusting the keys to Lance was the right thing to do. See you in 2023….
Lance, 22, had completed 2 of the 3 passes he had thrown early in the game, for a gain of 30 yards. During the first meeting of the year, lost against Chicago, he signed a 13/28 for 164 yards and an interception.
It is therefore almost a return to square one for San Francisco, which saw Jimmy Garoppolo reappear to take over from Lance on Sunday. The former starter led his team to victory with a 13/21 record for 154 yards and 1 touchdown.
