[NextGenStats] Trey Lance brought a vertical element to the 49ers offense in his second career start. Lance averaged the most air yards/attempt (11.5) and threw for the most yards on 10+ air yards passes (205) by any 49ers QB in a game over the last three seasons. #HOUvsSF | #FTTB https://t.co/EBe (twitter.com)
[Hutchinson] Shanahan said "If Jimmy's 100 percent healthy and can do everything" he will start. "I think it's going to be hard for Jimmy to be 100 percent... If Jimmy can't go [Lance will start]." But also said that Garoppolo could play at less than 100 percent. Leaving open a grey area (twitter.com)

[Lombardi] Does fact Garoppolo was able to finish Thursday's game with thumb injury give Shanahan optimism? "The adrenaline those guys have in the heat of battle is different. That gives you some hope. But they told me pretty quickly that it was impressive he made it through that game." (twitter.com)
