All signs are pointing toward Trey Lance starting at quarterback for the 49ers on Sunday against Arizona. Jimmy Garoppolo has yet to participate in practice this week, and general manager John Lynch told KNBR on Friday morning that if Garoppolo is unable to practice the team will go with Lance. Garoppolo was not on the field for the start of practice on Friday afternoon.

There are a number of concepts that have been a part of the 49ers offensive system that Trey Lance is familiar with from his time at North Dakota State.
