The 49ers went with a unique rotation against the Raiders in preseason Week 3, regularly putting in both Jimmy Garoppolo and Trey Lance.
San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan went with an unorthodox approach in the team’s opening drive against the visiting Las Vegas Raiders in both teams’ 2021 preseason finale at Levi’s Stadium.
Over the Niners’ first two preseason bouts, Shanahan let veteran Jimmy Garoppolo start at quarterback, giving way to the rookie, Trey Lance, after Jimmy G completed a series.
