Rookie Trey Lance is poised to make his first NFL start for San Francisco (2-2) against the Cardinals (4-0) if Garoppolo is unable to go. Niners coach Kyle Shanahan said Thursday that Garoppolo “wants to give it a go” Friday on his strained right calf. Injured San Francisco quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo missed another practice Thursday but has not yet been ruled out for the 49ers’ Sunday road game against the Arizona Cardinals. However, cornerback K’Waun Williams (calf) has been ruled out for Sunday, according to Shanahan. Tight end George Kittle (calf) also missed his second consecutive practice Thursday.
