San Francisco 49ers star Jimmy Garoppolo sent a message of support to fellow quarterback Trey Lance after the sophomore suffered a season-ending injury against the Seattle Seahawks.
Sunday must have been a bittersweet day for Garoppolo, the former starter for the 49ers. He was replaced by Lance after San Francisco opted to use the third pick in the 2021 NFL Draft to select the 22-year-old.
After starting during the opening week loss to the Chicago Bears, Lance suffered a broken ankle injury in the opening minutes of Sunday's game against the Seahawks that will see him ruled out for the rest of the season. Garoppolo was able to steady the ship and lead the 49ers to a 27-7 win at Levi’s Stadium - and he will be the starting quarterback for the remainder of the 2022 season.
