49ers’ Trey Lance doesn’t feel finger injury slowed him down, says ‘it’s all good now’

Trey Lance was 1-of-1 passing in his NFL debut on Sunday against the Detroit Lions. The San Francisco 49ers rookie's lone pass was a five-yard touchdown to wide receiver Trent Sherfield. The quarterback added three unremarkable carries for two total yards.


"It just felt great to be out there again," Lance told reporters after the game, "and it obviously feels good to be 1-0."

Lance had a setback following the 49ers' preseason finale against the Las Vegas Raiders. He suffered a chipped bone in the index finger of his throwing hand and missed about a week's worth of practice. Lance doesn't believe the injury was too detrimental to his development.

"I only missed a couple of practices," Lance said after the 49ers' 41-33 win. "Obviously, it sucks not to be able to practice but learned a lot and got to watch Jimmy [Garoppolo] and Nate [Sudfeld] operate at a really high level at practice in those few days. Practicing against our defense is [something] I don't like to miss.

"I don't like to miss any days, obviously, but I don't think [the injury] slowed me down at all. But for me, it was just I had to take time and find different ways to get reps. And our video guys do a great job with different ways to watch film, visual reality, and things like that."

The 49ers had indicated that Lance's finger swelled up after the injury. However, the quarterback feels that may have been slightly exaggerated and wasn't too concerned about his status.

"It really didn't swell up too bad," Lance said. "It was just like range-of-motion and just kind of getting that back. And obviously, there was some inflammation in my finger, but it's all good now, thankfully."

49ers see impending mega-deal for Brock Purdy as a 'good problem'

By David Bonilla
Mar 27

The San Francisco 49ers are actively working to sign wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk to a contract extension, aiming to maintain their talented young core of players. The team has reached agreements with star players during each of the last four offseasons, securing George Kittle in 2020, Fred Warner in 2021, Deebo Samuel in 2022, and Nick Bosa in 2023. Another key contributor poised for a new deal next offseason is quarterback Brock Purdy. Over the last couple of years, the 49ers have been in the unique position of not having to pay much money (relatively) to stock their quarterback room while reaping the benefits of superb play from their starting signal-caller.

49ers view Isaac Yiadom as leading candidate to start at CB, says insider

By David Bonilla

The San Francisco 49ers' signing of cornerback Isaac Yiadom to a one-year deal wasn't a headline-grabbing move. It wasn't even the Bay Area team's most significant free-agency move thus far. That would be defensive end Leonard Floyd signing a two-year deal with the 49ers. However, San Francisco hopes Yiadom proves to be one of its more underrated signings. The 28-year-old defensive back is coming off his best NFL season. Yiadom's 81.1 overall grade and 80.4 coverage grade from Pro Football Focus were career highs. Opposing quarterbacks completed 50 percent of their passes (22 of 44) and owned an 84.4 passer rating when targeting the former New Orleans Saints defender in 2023. RELATED:

49ers actively negotiating with Brandon Aiyuk, not discussing trades, says John Lynch

By David Bonilla

General manager John Lynch addressed reporters at the NFL owners meetings on Monday, emphasizing the San Francisco 49ers' active pursuit of a contract extension for wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk. There has been significant speculation surrounding Aiyuk's status this offseason. The receiver is slated to play on his fifth-year option, which guarantees him $14.124 million in 2024. While the team would be content with Aiyuk playing on that fifth-year option, it would prefer to secure the star receiver to a long-term deal before he returns to the field.
