San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy, a Perry High School alum, will be sidelined for Sunday’s game against the Green Bay Packers due to a sore throwing shoulder. The injury, sustained in last week’s loss to the Seattle Seahawks, was initially thought to be minor, but Purdy experienced discomfort during warmups on Thursday. Coach Kyle Shanahan stated that while there is no long-term concern, Purdy’s status for future games remains uncertain.
In addition to Purdy, the 49ers will also be without star defensive end Nick Bosa and left tackle Trent Williams for Sunday’s game. With a three-way tie for second in the NFC West, the team faces challenges in their playoff aspirations.
Backup quarterback Brandon Allen will start in place of Purdy, hoping to lead the team to victory despite missing key players. San Francisco will also be without cornerback Charvarius Ward, with several other players sidelined due to injury.
On the Packers’ side, cornerback Jaire Alexander and linebacker Edgerrin Cooper will also be absent for the game. Both teams will seek to overcome these setbacks and secure a critical win to advance their respective playoff hopes. Stay tuned for updates on the game’s progression.
