SANTA CLARA, Calif. — Trey Lance stood at his locker on one side of the 49ers’ locker room, speaking for the first time to reporters since a Sept. 18 fracture to his right foot, which remains in an orthopedic boot.
Down the way in a corner, Brock Purdy sat in front of his locker, waiting to update reporters on the injury to his right elbow.
Lance, then Purdy. That could be how the 49ers’ quarterback depth chart looks going into next season, assuming Lance is fully cleared in a month and is ready for April’s start of the offseason program, as he expects.
