The San Francisco 49ers started organized team activities (OTAs) this week. They held their first practice on Monday. Tuesday was the first session open to the media, and reporters got glimpses of quarterbacks Trey Lance and Sam Darnold throwing, along with the rest of the team's work.
Lance and Darnold are competing for that QB2 spot behind a sidelined Brock Purdy. One could even be the starting quarterback when San Francisco's regular season kicks off on September 10, assuming Purdy isn't yet available.
Below are some videos from Tuesday's practice that various sources shared.
