The 22-year-old Lance was making the fourth start of his career, having done so twice as a rookie when Garoppolo missed games because of various injuries.
Last week, Lance struggled in Chicago as San Francisco lost its 2022 season opener to the Bears.
Lance came into the season with a new starting role and the full backing of the 49ers organization, but depending on the severity of the ankle injury he suffered Sunday, it might be some time before he’s able to resume his starting duties.
