49ers QB Trey Lance out for season with broken ankle
Associated PressSANTA CLARA, Calif. — San Francisco 49ers quarterback Trey Lance will miss the rest of the season after breaking his right ankle Sunday. Coach Kyle Shanahan said after the game that Lance would need to undergo season-ending surgery, raising immediate questions about using Lance as a runner between the tackles so often early this season. It’s a football play we believe in and something that gives him a real chance to be successful.” Lance’s teammates and several Seahawks players paid him respect before he left the field and was replaced by former starter Jimmy Garoppolo, who threw a touchdown pass on his first full drive and passed for 154 yards. “It’s the worst part of the game, obviously,” said defensive end Nick Bosa, who had a season-ending knee injury in Week 2 of the 2020 season.
