3 years agoSan Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said that rookie quarterback Trey Lance has made progress while running the scout team in practices, with Shanahan pointing to improved decision-making and accuracy, among other things. "This last month of Trey has been his best consecutive four weeks at practice since we've had him," Shanahan said. With Jimmy Garoppolo's status up in the air due to a torn UCL in his right thumb and a fracture, Lance took all of the work with the starters in a walkthrough practice on Monday and could be in line for his second career start in Week 17 against the Houston Texans. There's a lot to like in the long term about the No. 3 overall pick, but Lance has made just one appearance in the last 10 games and would merely be a low-end QB2 option if Garoppolo is ultimately unable to play this Sunday.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
