49ers fans didn’t think they were done seeing Russell Wilson, did they?
Wilson and Broncos will be hosting Jimmy Garoppolo and the Niners on “Sunday Night Football” in Week 3. Denver will be looking to recover from a rocky start to the Wilson era. Although the team has started 1-1, the loss came at the hands of the Seahawks while the win was in a surprisingly contentious game against the Texans.
The 49ers are also 1-1 on the season, but they’re facing a different kind of adversity. Starting quarterback Trey Lance is out for the season with a fractured ankle, which means Garoppolo has reclaimed his starting role for San Francisco after a tumultuous offseason. It will be fascinating to see how the situation plays out with Garoppolo on a one-year deal.

A tipped pass at the line on the next play leads to fourth down for the 49ers and they’ll have to punt.
