Trey Lance has been ruled out of the 49ers-Seahawks game with a right ankle injury and was replaced by Jimmy Garoppolo.
After a turbulent offseason in which the 49ers named Lance the starting quarterback with the intention of trading Garoppolo, the apparent serious injury to Lance is a cruel twist to the story.
Garoppolo's first play from scrimmage was a 4-yard pass to Brandon Aiyuk on third-and-6. Robbie Gould kicked a 33-yard field goal to give the 49ers a 6-0 lead. On Garoppolo's first full drive Sunday, he hit tight end Ross Dwelley for a 38-yard touchdown to give the 49ers a 13-0 lead. With Garoppolo pressed into action and Brock Purdy inactive for Sunday's game, the emergency quarterback is fullback Kyle Juszczyk, per NBC Sports Bay Area's Matt Maiocco.Garoppolo wasn't expected to be on the 49ers' roster but because San Francisco wasn't able to find a team willing to trade for him, he became a valuable insurance policy.
Now the concern for the 49ers turns to the health of Lance, who is expected to be the future of the franchise for years to come.
