Trey Lance fights for backup spot on 49ers after being future franchise QB

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 13:53:27 GMT

SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — Trey Lance has gone from the future franchise quarterback in San Francisco to one just fighting to maintain the role as the backup for the 49ers in just over two years.Based on the shaky start he had in the exhibition opener, it appears Lance has more work to do to beat out Sam Darnold as the No. 2 quarterback in San Francisco behind Brock Purdy.Coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday there were some encouraging signs.“I thought he played a lot better as it ended,” Shanahan said Monday. “He ended up doing some good things. I wish we would’ve converted that short yardage and kept him out there a little bit longer, but that’s some of the frustrating things about preseason.”The box score numbers for Lance were fine as he went 10 for 15 for 112 yards and a touchdown. But the TD came on a throw that should have been intercepted by Duke Shelley, whose bobble led to Ross Dwelley’s catch in the end zone.Shanahan called that pass “scary” but liked that Lance wa...

Now, the outfielder is hoping to return for the end of the season pain-free.Marte is eligible to come off the 10-day injured list this week but he’s not ready to be activated. This was his second trip to the IL in a month, as Marte battled migraine headaches shortly after the All-Star break ahead of the birth of his daughter.
