49ers' Trey Lance: Takes snaps with first-team offense
Lance took eight snaps with the first-team offense in Friday's joint practice with the Chargers, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
The rookie completed each of his three attempts -- one a shovel pass and the other two also short throws. Per Branch, the other five plays with Lance on the field were two QB runs, two RB runs and a sack. Lance notably took four sacks for 31 yards in his pro debut last week against the Chiefs, though he also had an 80-yard TD pass (one of just five completions on 14 attempts, admittedly). While the 49ers still seem to be preparing Jimmy Garoppolo for the Week 1 start, it's noteworthy that coach Kyle Shanahan is making sure his rookie QB gets reps with the starters. Whether that also happens in Sunday's preseason game against the Chargers remains to be seen.
