Garoppolo is the only other quarterback on the 49ers active roster with Trey Lance still on injured reserve.

Provided, that if a club has two quarterbacks on its 45-player Active List, a third quarterback from its Inactive List is permitted to dress for the game, but if he enters the game during the first three quarters, the other two quarterbacks are thereafter prohibited from playing." The league changed the third quarterback rule in 2010 that allowed a team to dress an additional quarterback, along with their starter and backup. Even if the 31-year old had one week of practice under his belt, the likelihood that he would have been active on game day is questionable as a result of the 43-man limit of active game-day players.
