TREY LANCE NEWS

Throws without issue Thursday Lance (finger) was throwing without issue during the part of Thursday's practice open to the media, David Lombardi of The Athletic reports.

Impact Lance made some light throws Wednesday, but the 49ers termed him limited in their first injury report of Week 1. According to Keiana Martin of the 49ers' official site, Lance wasn't donning a brace or even a splint on his right throwing hand one day later, which could mean he bumps up to full participant. In the end, Lance's activity level will become known later Thursday.

Impact Shanahan initially said Lance would be out for about a week after he "chipped" his finger in the final preseason game. The timeline was optimistic, but Lance did resume throwing earlier this week and is scheduled to do more during Wednesday's practice. He could have a small package of plays if he's cleared for the season opener in Detroit.

Not throwing yet Lance (finger) didn't throw during the portion of Monday's practice open to the media, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Lance was spotted without a splint on his right hand and working on his footwork, but it appears he hasn't progressed enough to toss passes. He's a little more than a week removed from suffering what coach Kyle Shanahan called a "chip fracture" in his finger, which he was able to tough out after jamming it during the 49ers' preseason finale on Aug. 29. Lance's expected timetable at the time was about one week, but that seems to have been optimistic. With San Francisco set to travel to Detroit for a Week 1 matchup this Sunday, the team will release its first injury report of the season Wednesday, which appears as if it'll include Lance as a limited participant.

Could be out beyond one week Lance (finger) may need more than a week to recover from his injury, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Impact Early reports of a one-week timeline may have been too optimistic, but that doesn't mean Lance is facing a long-term absence. David Lombardi of The Athletic adds that Lance is going through all the drills at Wednesday's practice, but because of the finger injury, the quarterback was flipping the ball aside rather than throwing it to a teammate. While Jimmy Garoppolo is in line to get the Week 1 start regardless of the rookie's health, Lance's injury could affect San Francisco's red-zone game plan if August reports are to be believed. There's been talk of the Niners rotating Lance in for some QB snaps, particularly in the red zone where a mobile signal-caller can be especially valuable.
