Trey Lance will undergo season-ending surgery on his broken ankle, 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan told reporters Sunday. The team also released a statement.
The 49ers quarterback suffered the injury against the Seahawks in the first quarter when he ran the ball up the middle of the field. After being tackled, the defender appeared to land on his right ankle and his foot can be seen contorted.
He remained on the ground unable to walk and was carted off the field. His right leg was put in an air cast and players from both teams could be seen gathering around him.
