San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan told reporters quarterback Trey Lance likely won't return from a broken ankle for the playoffs even though his rehab is going well.
"I haven't been told there's a chance, so I think things would have to be pretty drastic," Shanahan said. "We weren't expecting that much from the beginning, I think he's right on schedule with everything, but I've not been told there's a chance."
At 6-4, the 49ers are currently tied with the Seattle Seahawks for first place in the NFC West. Should the team reach the postseason, it doesn't appear as though Shanahan is planning on having Lance as an option as the backup.
