Kyle Shanahan has opened up on Trey Lance’s future with the San Francisco 49ers after the return of Brock Purdy.
Purdy suffered an ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) injury in his right elbow during the NFC Championship game in January. The 49ers went on to lose 31-7 to the Philadelphia Eagles in a one-sided beat-down, ending their hopes of reaching the Super Bowl.
Now that Purdy has had surgery and is gradually building up his recovery, Shanahan has opened up on where the 49ers stand with his fitness. Purdy and the rest of his team-mates aren't expected to report back for training camp for another two months when the off-season finishes, but Shanahan says he has high hopes for 'Mr Irrelevant'.
