Lance experienced irritation based on the location of the hardware. It is looking like it'll be another offseason with quarterback controversy for the 49ers, especially if Brock Purdy leads San Francisco far in the playoffs.

Head coach Kyle Shanahan stated after the game that Trey Lance will have season-ending surgery Monday on his broken ankle.

Fantasy Impact

Terrible news for Lance and the 49ers. Lance was in just his second start as the clear-cut starter when he was carted off after a short run up the middle against the Seahawks. Lance’s focus will now shift to rehab and being ready for 2023.

Trey Lance suffered a ankle injury that is likely to require season ending surgery, per ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

Fantasy Impact

Lance was carted off the field with his right leg in an air case and was quickly ruled out for the remainder of the game. Unfortunately it seems that the ankle injury is significant enough to end his season. A silver lining for the 49ers, is they were able to work out a new contract to keep Jimmy Garoppolo in San Francisco as the backup. Fantasy managers should expect Garoppolo to take over for the starting job for the remainder of the season.
