Trey Lance’s only carry against the Packers in Friday’s preseason game wasn’t by design. The quarterback stepped up through the pocket, reset his feet, then took off for a seven-yard gain that ended in a slide. The ending was the most important part of the play. It was also a first.
Lance, who took a number of big hits in his minimal playing time last year because he was trying to run through tacklers, tried avoiding a hit for the first time ever Friday night.
