Trey Lance To Start Preseason Opener
1 year agoSan Francisco 49ers quarterback Trey Lance has been named the starter for Sunday's preseason opener versus the Las Vegas Raiders. The team hasn't announced how long Lance will play, but it'll likely only be a series or two. The expectation is that Sam Darnold will receive some playing time as well, while Brock Purdy (elbow) continues to rehab his injury. The assumption is that Purdy will be ready for the regular season and be the team's starter. That being said, there have been rumors that Lance could be on the trade block. However, it might be smarter to keep Lance as insurance, but we'll see what the 49ers decide to do. For now, Lance will play in the preseason and show what he can do when he's fully healthy.
