San Francisco 49ers general manager John Lynch has confirmed quarterback Trey Lance is fully fit again after undergoing two surgeries on a season-ending ankle injury.
Lance suffered a fibula fracture and ligament disruption in Week 2 of the 2022 season during a game against the Seattle Seahawks. The third pick in the 2021 draft, who was named the Niners’ starting quarterback before the season began, lasted less than five full quarters before being carted off at Levi's Stadium.
After initially undergoing surgery during the days after the game, further cleanup surgery was required on the recovering ankle late last year to remove irritating hardware. That put Lance back on crutches, but will not mean missing any of this season.
