Shanahan revisits how Lance’s finger injury impacted his development
The San Francisco 49ers are hoping that quarterback Trey Lance’s best playing days are ahead of him. After a rookie season on the bench and a sophomore campaign derailed by a season-ending injury, Lance now enters his third season competing to be Brock Purdy’s backup with veteran Sam Darnold.
