There was wild speculation about quarterback Trey Lance's status in the San Francisco 49ers' locker room after Sam Darnold was seen attending a basketball game with some 49ers players, and fullback Kyle Juszczyk shut down those thoughts.

"Trey is beloved in our locker room,” Kyle Juszczyk, 49ers, Trey Lance, Brock Purdy, Sam Darnold said, according to David Bonilla of 49ers Web Zone. “Everybody loves Trey. The dude really does work his ass off. He's super personable. He is a very well-liked guy. So for whatever reason that he wasn't at the basketball game, it's not because we don't like him.”

Brock Purdy is still the frontrunner to be the 49ers' starting quarterback when week 1 comes around. He is coming back from elbow surgery due to an injury he suffered in the NFC Championship game against the Philadelphia Eagles.
