A cart came out to take him from the field, with an air cast placed on his right leg. It was later confirmed that he will require surgery, and it means his season is over.
Lance, the former NDSU Bison QB, was named the 49ers starting quarterback for the 2022 season. He had thrown 3/4 for 46 yards and had 3 carries for 13 yards when he left the game.
