Quarterback Trey Lance underwent follow-up surgery on his ankle Friday after a tendon was irritated by hardware from his initial procedure, the 49ers announced.
SANTA CLARA — Trey Lance surprisingly required follow-up surgery Friday on his right ankle, successfully removing stabilizing hardware that “irritated” a tendon after his initial surgery in September, the 49ers announced Saturday.
The 49ers have gone on to win the NFC West behind Lance’s successors, Jimmy Garoppolo and now Brock Purdy, who’ll make his fourth straight start in Sunday’s game at the Raiders . Lance has remained a constant presence at the 49ers’ facility since his injury, and he walked without a limp while coming out for the 49ers’ pregame warmups at last Saturday’s home win over Washington.Garoppolo is four weeks removed from his fracture and has been out of a hard cast for two weeks, but he’s been using a knee scooter and orthopedic support boot amid his recovery. He is not on the 49ers’ injured reserve list, with a chance of returning in the playoffs.
