You're right. They will likely go with Trey Lance to start the season. No guarantee how his ankle/foot will be though. And how long will he stay healthy?Who are the 49ers going to start? Darnold may look like a whole new QB in that system.
I think the 9er's and their players want Brock back. It may take him a while to come to form though. Sure hope his elbow has a good result.
