Media Meatheads Are Feasting On 49ers Rookie Surviving Getting Shot

Media Meatheads Are Feasting On Trey Lance's Offseason Mishap

Trey lance was shot in the ankle by his brother.

Trey Lance is lucky to be alive. In early May, police in Fargo, North Dakota, responded to the hospital, where Lance was receiving treatment for a gunshot wound to the ankle. According to law enforcement, the incident happened at Lance’s brother’s house after a “friendly” game of catch with a pellet gun. The pellet traveled through Lance’s shoes, striking his ankle.

Lance’s injury could have been much worse. The pellet just missed his Achilles tendon, and there is no damage to any bones or ligaments. Lance was treated and released from the hospital, and is expected to make a full recovery.

The details are sketchy and incomplete.

Law enforcement has released few details about the incident, and have not disclosed who exactly fired the gun and how the accident happened. There are conflicting reports about the nature of the incident, with Lance initially telling police that he shot himself while cleaning the gun, however, that seems very unlikely.

But the fact that Lance was shot in the ankle has larger implications for the 49ers.

If Trey misses time, Jimmy Garropolo will benefit.

Lance is expected to start for the 49ers in 2023, after sitting behind Jimmy Garoppolo for the past two seasons. But if Lance misses any time due to his injury, Garoppolo will be ready to step in.

Garoppolo is a veteran quarterback with a proven track record. He led the 49ers to the NFC championship game in 2021, throwing for 3,810 yards and 20 touchdowns. He also has a 9-6 record as a starter in the playoffs.

If Lance is unable to play, Garoppolo will be a capable replacement.

The 49ers need Trey Lance to be healthy.

The 49ers have high hopes for Lance. He was the third overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, and is considered one of the most talented young quarterbacks in the league.

Lance has shown flashes of brilliance in his limited playing time. He has a strong arm and is a dangerous runner. But he also needs to improve his accuracy and decision-making.

If Lance can stay healthy and continue to develop, he has the potential to be a franchise quarterback for the 49ers.

Conclusion

The 49ers are hoping that Trey Lance will be healthy and ready to go for the 2023 season. But if he misses any time due to his injury, Jimmy Garoppolo will be ready to step in.
