49ers QB Lance has been 100 percent healthy since March

San Francisco 49ers quarterback TREY LANCE said recently that he has continued to rehab his fractured ankle and that he finally started to feel better in March. Lance added that byMore the end of March he “was 100 percent” after originally suffering the injury in the second week of the 2022 season. With fellow quarterback BROCK PURDY still recovering from his own injury, the news that Lance has returned to full health is encouraging for the 49ers and fantasy owners. San Francisco also has veteran SAM DARNOLD on the roster for 2023, but fantasy owners have likely learned by now Darnold is someone that can’t be counted on for much beyond clipboard duty. Less

Around the NFL: Sam Darnold

There's some crazy talk going around involving 49ers quarterbacks.

It's best dismissed.   more »

49ers expect QB Purdy back by training camp

San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said this week that he expects second-year quarterback BROCK PURDY back in time for training camp, which begins at the end of July. WhileMore this has always been the hope and a best-case scenario, most did not expect Purdy to be fully cleared until sometime in late August. Purdy, of course, suffered a tear of the ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) in his right elbow in the NFC Championship Game and underwent surgery to repair the injury in early March. Until Purdy returns, TREY LANCE and SAM DARNOLD will take offseason reps during practices. One of the two could start the season opener if Purdy isn’t ready to go. Less

Purdy effect responsible for QB popularity in 2023 NFL Draft?

49ers receiving calls about QB Lance

The San Francisco 49ers have reportedly fielded calls regarding former third overall pick TREY LANCE.

49ers reach deal with QB Darnold
