The San Francisco 49ers quarterback room could not stay healthy in 2022. Kyle Shanahan’s team fought through injuries to Trey Lance and Jimmy Garoppolo during the regular season to reach the playoffs. In the NFC championship game, an injury to Brock Purdy on the first series finally ended their hopes of reaching the Super Bowl.
Quarterback injuries are nothing new for the 49ers.
Kyle Shanahan has lost at least one starting quarterback to injury in five of his six seasons at the helm in San Francisco. The lone exception coming in 2019 when Jimmy Garoppolo was able to stay healthy on the way to a Super Bowl berth.
