SANTA CLARA, Calif. — A new-look Jimmy Garoppolo made his 49ers team practice debut Thursday, and it started with him in a quarterback drill he’d never experienced before, certainly not in a 49ers’ backup role.
His 22-year-old successor, Trey Lance, took the first snap and rifled a pass to the right side, all while Garoppolo knelt two yards in front of him and waited his turn.
Uh, welcome back, Jimmy G.
