The 2022 season was supposed to be Trey Lance’s moment. He was the Week 1 starter with the goal of improving over the course of the season to put him and the team in position to contend for a Super Bowl by January. That was derailed by an ankle injury in Week 2 that sidelined him for the season.
Injuries have defined Lance’s short career, and he’ll need to overcome that issue to become the 49ers’ starting signal caller. General manager John Lynch on Tuesday talked about a second major hurdle facing Lance if he is able to stay healthy.
