49ers QB Trey Lance reveals he battled finger injury throughout rookie season

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Trey Lance showed promise as a rookie, but left something to be desired as a passer. Lance completed just 57.7% of his passes during his first season in the NFL. Jimmy Garoppolo completed 68.3% of his passes in the same offense.

Completion percentage isn't everything, but a player of Lance's caliber should have performed better in a Kyle Shanahan-run offense.

Turns out, there's a reason Lance had issues throwing the football last season: He played the entire year with a lingering finger issue.

Lance revealed the severity of his finger injury Tuesday.
