49ers QB Trey Lance cleared to return ahead of OTAs: What he needs to work on

New York Times  

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Trey Lance has been cleared to return from the ankle injury that ended his 2022 season, general manager John Lynch and coach Kyle Shanahan said Saturday. Here’s what you need to know: Lance is 100 percent cleared ahead of OTAs, Lynch and Shanahan said following the draft. This is obviously good news for Lance, who has work to do this offseason to make up ground on Purdy, who established himself as the 49ers’ top quarterback down the stretch run of 2022. Lance will split offseason repetitions with Darnold, who also projects to be a serious contender for playing time in 2023 — especially with the timing of Purdy’s return from elbow surgery still indefinite.
