The San Francisco 49ers 2022 NFL season had a unexpectedly turn of events take place week 2.
As the 49ers hosted the Seattle Seahawks in their 2022 NFL season home opener, 49ers quarterback Trey Lance suffered a tough, season-ending injury.
According to NFL.com,
San Francisco starting quarterback Trey Lance was carted off the field with a right ankle injury Sunday in the first quarter of the 49ers’ 27-7 win against the Seahawks.
Lance went to the ground after he was tackled on a QB run and remained down for a few minutes before the cart was brought in. Lance left the game with what appeared to be an air cast on his right leg and was quickly ruled out by San Francisco.
Jimmy Garoppolo, who restructured his contract in the offseason to stay on as a backup QB, came into the game after the injury.
Lance was 2 of 3 for 30 yards passing and added 13 yards on two carries prior to his exit. Garoppolo was 13 for 21 for 154 yards and a touchdown in his relief effort.
Following the 49ers win, San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan informed his team that Trey Lance will have season-ending surgery on Monday.
