49ers quarterback Trey Lance reveals finger injury

Trey Lance, the expected starting quarterback of the San Francisco 49ers, revealed a finger injury during an interview. He said this has negatively impacted his rookie season.

Munich – After a fairly unspectacular rookie season with little playing time, last year’s first-round pick Trey Lance’s NFL career could really take off this upcoming season. The San Francisco 49ers quarterback is expected to enter the season as the starter, with Jimmy Garoppolo still in the trade shop window.

Looking ahead to his first season, Lance now revealed during an interview with the website “49ers Webzone” that he suffered a finger injury before the start of the season – with long-lasting consequences.

“I dragged that through the whole season, at times I couldn’t throw the ball properly. It wasn’t always easy,” said the playmaker. The injury was previously unknown to the extent, only appearing on the Injury Report during last preseason.

Trey Lance: “Feeling good “

Lance still appeared in five games (two of them as a starter), throwing five touchdowns and two interceptions. He also collected another touchdown as a halfback.

In the upcoming season, the third pick of the 2021 NFL Draft is expected to take over Garoppolo’s starter position. The 22-year-old seems ready for the task: “I feel good, mentally and physically. I can throw the ball well again, too. “
