SANTA CLARA, Calif. — If 49ers quarterback Trey Lance is shifting into crisis mode with the return of Jimmy Garoppolo, he’s hiding it well.
In his first public comments Thursday since learning the 49ers’ starter since 2017 was back on the roster to serve as his backup, Lance was as positive and upbeat as he’s been in every media opportunity through the offseason and training camp.
“It’s good to have him back, good to have him back in the meeting, in the QB room again,” Lance said. “He’s been a big brother to me since the day I got drafted. I know he’s got my back, I’ve got his back.”
