49ers’ Trey Lance Walking Without Boot During Big Win on ‘MNF’

The second-year quarterback has been out since the team’s Week 2 game following an ankle injury that required surgery.

49ers quarterback Trey Lance gave some hope to fans when he showed up to the team’s Monday Night Football matchup vs. the Cardinals in Mexico City.

The second-year quarterback was seen walking onto the field without a boot on. He has remained out since he injured his ankle in Week 2. He underwent ankle surgery the day after the 49ers–Seahawks game, and he was deemed out for the remainder of the season.

As he is already showing improvements just two months later by not having a walking boot on, fans are hopeful that the quarterback will be back to 100% in plenty of time for the 2023 season.
