Trey Lance

The second-year QB is out for the rest of the season.

He hurt his ankle on a designed run, his 16th carry of the year. With Lance out, Garoppolo will take over as San Francisco’s starting quarterback again. Lance joined the 49ers as the third overall selection in last year’s draft, with the team investing three total first-rounders to bring him aboard.

Trey Lance's first season as the San Francisco 49ers' starting quarterback is over after only two games after he fractured his right ankle on Sunday.

Garoppolo did not practice at all during training camp as he recovered from shoulder surgery and spent the summer the subject of trade rumors.

"It's a very sad moment, but you don't have time to sit there and think about it." "I'm real proud of Jimmy and how he came in and was ready for the moment and helped us get a win."

“But no, that’s something we were gonna do, and something we were going to continue to do. That’s a football play we believe in and something we believe gives him a chance to be real successful in this league.” By the time he takes the field again, the 49ers will be done owing draft picks for him and the bounty spent to get Lance will be a sunk cost. “This should not be interpreted as any sort of “I told you so,” just an assessment that there were signs for major concern in the way Lance was being used as a runner. In a world of chaos, he’s the 49ers’ accidental QB constant. You’ve got to get right back to the game, and the guys did a real good job of that.

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Trey Lance's first full season as an NFL starter came to an abrupt end in Week 2 with a season-ending ankle injury, ...

"I feel terrible for Trey," Garoppolo said. Garoppolo did not play in that contest, but started 15 games last season for the 49ers. "It's tough you feel for someone so bad," Shanahan said. "He made some real key throws. "I thought he did a real good job coming off the bench," Shanahan said. Shanahan said in his postgame news conference that Lance broke his right ankle and will get season-ending surgery Monday morning.

Any time a team loses its starting quarterback, everyone is going to be upset. Kyle Shanahan was particularly prickly with the media after the game on ...

It’s impossible to know whether Lance’s injury was a freak accident or something that was bound to happen, given the number of times Lance was called upon to run into the teeth of the defense. None of the questions that he was asked were inappropriate or out of line, and his, “Well, Buffalo does it” justification was childish. Naturally, the questions about the designed runs for Trey continued.

[season-ending ankle injury](https://www.si.com/nfl/2022/09/18/49ers-trey-lance-suffered-significant-ankle-injury) early in Sunday’s 27-7 win over the Seahawks. It’s a devastating blow for fantasy managers who took a chance that Lance would be a fantasy stud in his first season as the full-time starter. [49ers](https://www.si.com/nfl/team/san-francisco-49ers)’ John Lynch has already clinched GM of the Year. The 49ers were not just a playoff team last season with Garoppolo under center. As soon as Trey Lance was declared San Francisco’s starting quarterback, everyone cried out for the team to trade [Jimmy Garoppolo](https://www.si.com/nfl/player/jimmy-garoppolo).

Call it good fortune or smart foresight, but the 49ers' decision to not trade or release Jimmy Garoppolo is saving their 2022 NFL season.

But in the end, Shanahan and Lynch's golden foresight turned out to be fortuitous and an amazing positive for the franchise after what could have been a devastating loss. The 49ers have the scheme and support system to give any passer (or runner) a high floor. That said, the 49ers also knew a repeat of Nick Mullens or C.J. The 49ers know they can get to the NFC championship and Super Bowl with Garoppolo instead of Lance — the evidence is two of the past three seasons. Last week, when Dak Prescott went down for the Cowboys, Garoppolo was no longer in play to help another NFC contending team because of a mutual no-trade clause. But unlike most NFL teams that suffer that kind of injury, they could quickly pick up the pieces and go full speed ahead with their offense.

[Seattle Seahawks](/nfl/team/_/name/sea/seattle-seahawks), forcing [Jimmy Garoppolo](https://www.espn.com/nfl/player/_/id/16760/jimmy-garoppolo) to take over. Another viable option is [Carson Wentz](http://www.espn.com/nfl/player/_/id/2573079/carson-wentz), who's still available in 44.3% of leagues. Olave's average depth of target was 26 yards, and he was second on the team in routes run behind The Commanders host the Eagles in Week 3. Garoppolo is on the streaming radar, but my preferred replacement is [Tua Tagovailoa](https://www.espn.com/nfl/player/_/id/4241479/tua-tagovailoa), who is still available in 35.7% of leagues. He is the only wide receiver on the Browns fantasy managers can trust in lineups. Pitts remains on the TE1 radar and is an intriguing acquisition at the position entering Week 3 against the Seahawks. Robinson can be viewed as a flex option with upside, while Etienne's opportunities are more limited despite his talent and is better stashed on the bench at this time.

Sunday was a rough day for 49ers quarterback Trey Lance as he suffered a season-ending ankle injury in the first quarter of their 27-7 win over the Seahawks ...

49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan announced that Lance would miss the rest of the year after breaking his ankle on a running play. [Jimmy Garoppolo](https://www.nbcsportsedge.com/football/nfl/player/11888/jimmy-garoppolo) will be quarterbacking the 49ers now that Lance is out of commission. [Dak Prescott](https://www.nbcsportsedge.com/football/nfl/player/2109/dak-prescott) suffered in the 2020 season, but Lance avoided one aspect of Prescott’s injury.

The 49ers' Plan B has come into play a lot quicker than they hoped, but how could the reinsertion of Jimmy Garoppolo play out?

The irony lies with Niners having to count on Garoppolo to stay healthy to stay in contention. 1 reason the Niners wanted to move from Garoppolo to Lance was because of Garoppolo's inability to stay healthy. Would the Niners feel comfortable turning it over to Lance? The Niners hoped such a scenario would never arrive but at least found solace that Garoppolo was there to step in. He missed a combined 23 games in those two seasons and the Niners spiraled to a combined finish of 10-22. A quarterback who had been under center for two trips to the NFC Championship Game and Super Bowl LIV for $6.5 million guaranteed was a no-brainer despite any potential awkwardness that might go with it. "We're really hurting for him, and we were really hoping to see a lot of him this year." Lance will count $7.75 million against the cap this year but will be another year closer to free agency when he returns from injury. I've studied as if I've been the starter for the week, so my role is now different in terms of suiting up and being ready to go in just in case something happens." For 2022, the plan is simple: Garoppolo will start in Lance's place. The previous two times, an injury to Garoppolo was a death knell for the Niners' season. It's the third time in six seasons under Shanahan that the Niners have lost their starting quarterback to a season-ending injury.
