The San Francisco 49ers kicked off organized team activities (OTAs) this week. Monday's session was closed to the media. However, reporters had an opportunity to observe Tuesday's session and get their first offseason glance at quarterback Trey Lance on the practice field.

While there are several 49ers-related offseason storylines, the most prominent ones have been the quarterback situation and the drama surrounding wide receiver Deebo Samuel. Samuel is not in attendance after requesting to be traded, so there isn't anything new to report on that front.


As for the quarterback storyline, most expect Lance to be the 49ers' starter in 2022, replacing veteran Jimmy Garoppolo, who has remained on the roster much longer than anticipated. Of course, that is primarily due to his March 8 shoulder surgery plummeting his trade value. He'll begin throwing again at the end of next month or early July.

In the meantime, some within the media have questioned the team's faith in Lance's readiness to lead the offense in his second NFL season. A strong showing during OTAs could go a long way toward responding to that narrative.

Below are some of the videos from Tuesday's practice that have surfaced from various sources. It's worth noting that recording is not allowed once team drills began.
