SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — San Francisco 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan started training camp with a declaration that second-year player Trey Lance will be the starting quarterback and Jimmy Garoppolo will be moving on soon. The Niners had been planning to go in that direction in 2022 ever since drafting Lance third overall a year ago but this is the most definitive Shanahan has been on the topic. Garoppolo has recovered from offseason surgery and the question now is whether San Francisco can find a trade partner or ends up cutting him.
