49ers QB Trey Lance will undergo surgery on his injured ankle and his season is likely over.

Lance suffered the injury early against the Seahawks and the injury looked bad initially, especially after Lance was carted off the field. Now, he will undergo surgery and his season is likely over. It's a shame because he was finally getting his chance to show the 49ers were right in trading up for him and he was starting to feel his way through. Now, the 49ers go back to their old friend, Jimmy Garoppolo. Garoppolo is a free agent after the season, so Lance should be the man again in 2023 and there shouldn't be any more quarterback controversy, but you never know with the NFL.

49ers QB Trey Lance was carted off the field during Sunday's game against the Seahawks.

Lance suffered an apparent left injury early against the Seahawks and the early thought is it doesn't look good but we'll see what details come out. This means Jimmy Garoppolo is back in the saddle for the 49ers and he may be there for quite a while again. Very unfortunate for Lance, who was started to bring it all together. We wish him the best.

Davis Mills peppered WR Brandin Cooks with 12 targets in Week 1 but is looking to involve other pass catchers, namely Nico Collins

Collins only accounted for two catches on Sunday but reiterated, "it's early in the season, we just started...Definitely, the confidence is high." When asked about the sophomore's lack of touches, Davis Mills remarked “Game-plan stuff, he has route. He has individual routes on the backside as the X receiver, where we see him matched up with somebody one-on-one we trust that he’s going to win." Until further notice, Nico Collins should remain on fantasy benches until he is actually tasked with winning some of those one-on-ones.

Mike McCarthy said the hope is Michael Gallup (knee) can go from doing individual drills last week to some “group stuff,” this week. He wasn’t ready to say Gallup could play Sunday.

In all likelihood, Gallup will need at least another week before he gets into a game, the tweet went on to say. Brown should see an increased role again, but with Dak Prescott out and Cooper Rush in, the Cowboys offense likely takes a big step back in terms of fantasy production.

Jerry Jones on 105.3 The Fan said Dak Prescott (thumb) won’t be going on injured reserve. He thinks Prescott could play within the next four games.

Apparently the timetable is becoming more optimistic for Prescott following his thumb surgery on Monday. This likely means the team will ride with Rush at QB and won't make any kind of drastic move for another QB. Not going on IR should at least be an indication it will be closer to four weeks instead of the high end of eight weeks.

Dak Prescott is set to have surgery on his fractured right thumb today, which could keep him out until their Bye Week, which takes place in mid-November.

It would seem that the shortest possible timetable would have him returning on October 24th, which is right before the team's bye week. Cooper Rush will take over at quarterback and extend his five career starts this weekend against the Bengals. The Cowboys scored three points in their Week 1 loss against the Buccaneers, with Prescott at the helm for most of the game.

Cowboys QB Dak Prescott will undergo hand surgery and miss several weeks.

Jerry Jones made the announcement after Sunday’s loss to the Buccaneers. Prescott left the game in the fourth quarter and was replaced by Cooper Rush. The offense as whole struggled against Tampa and that was with Dak Prescott. So you have to believe the offensive value takes a good hit with Rush at quarterback. The offensive line also didn’t help. It may be tough sledding going forward for the Cowboys, who host the Bengals next week.

While Michael Gallup still isn't expected to suit up on Sunday for the Buccaneers facing off against his Cowboys, this is a step in the right direction.

Rookie Jalen Tolbert has an opportunity to work as the team's WR2, and third passing-game option behind CeeDee Lamb and TE Dalton Schultz. Owner Jerry Jones said last week that he believes Gallup will be ready to go sometime in the first three weeks of the season.
