49ers coach Kyle Shanahan revealed his on-field message to Trey Lance after the young quarterback suffered a broken ankle against Seattle.
The 49ers are back in the hands of veteran Jimmy Garoppolo, who conducted the offense for the last five seasons and returned to the team as a backup behind Lance after agreeing to a massive pay cut after training camp.
Garoppolo knows what it's like to endure a severe injury early in a season. He suffered a torn ACL in Week 3 of the 2018 NFL season, and missed 10 games in 2020 due to ankle injuries. "Yeah, I saw him for a quick second after," Garoppolo said."Just wishing him well. Like I said, I've been there. I've come full circle in this thing, and it’s just, it's tough whenever you see a guy get hurt, you feel for him.“Four of our six years here we’ve lost the starting quarterback to injury,” Shanahan said to King. “I mean, you just deal with it. You’ve got to. Our team really loves Trey. But these guys, they plan on winning games regardless of the obstacles.
San Francisco wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk, who worked out with Lance during the offseason, disclosed that 49ers players spoke with Lance at the break."We tried to rally behind him," the wide receiver said."Everyone went to go talk to him at halftime. We finished the rest of the game for him, and then we talked to him afterwards. But when you have a guy like that go down early, it is always tough."At least Lance has the support of the 49ers' locker room.
