San Francisco 49ers QB Brock Purdy<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
After two key players were ruled out, the\u00a0San Francisco 49ers\u00a0will face the\u00a0Green Bay Packers\u00a0with one hand tied behind their back.<\/p>\n
In a critical moment in the season, the 49ers will be without quarterback\u00a0Brock Purdy\u00a0and defensive end\u00a0Nick Bosa.\u00a0San Francisco head coach Kyle Shanahan announced that the duo would miss Sunday\u2019s game due to Purdy\u2019s shoulder injury and Bosa\u2019s hip issue.<\/p>\n
The Niners also ruled out a couple of other notable names like CB\u00a0Charvarius Ward\u00a0and WR\u00a0Jacob Cowing. When Shanahan was asked about Purdy specifically, he said he has no long-term concerns for his QB.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t want to say there\u2019s long-term concern. We got the MRI on Monday. We thought he just needed some rest and really weren\u2019t concerned about him not being good this week. But when he started up Thursday, just surprised him, surprised us, how it felt. So we had to shut him down,\u201d Shanahan said on November 22. So, I really don\u2019t what to think of it. The MRI doesn\u2019t look like that, so it should be alright. But the way it responded this week, it\u2019s really up in the air for next week, so we\u2019ll have to see on Monday.\u201d<\/p>\n
Brandon Allen Set to Start<\/h2>\n
In Purdy\u2019s place, veteran backup\u00a0Brandon Allen\u00a0will start for the 49ers. Allen first entered the NFL in 2016 as a sixth-round draft pick by the\u00a0Jacksonville Jaguars. In the years since, Allen has spent his NFL career bouncing around teams and practice squads.<\/p>\n
Allen does have some starting experience, although it\u2019s been quite some time since his last start in 2021 with the\u00a0Cincinnati Bengals. Allen spent three seasons in Cincinnati, starting 6 games for the AFC North franchise.<\/p>\n
The former Arkansas Razorback went 1-5, totaling 1074 passing yards, 7 touchdowns and 4 interceptions. His 5 starts in 2021 specifically was the longest run of his career, but it\u2019s clear that the opportunity did not lead to starting chances elsewhere.<\/p>\n
Now, the longtime veteran is getting another shot. However, he faces a tall order with a road game against\u00a0the Packers.<\/p>\n
49ers QB Speaks on Packers Game<\/h2>\n
After\u00a0Shanahan\u00a0made the decision to start Allen, the 49ers made him available for a press conference on November 22.<\/p>\n
Allen was asked about\u00a0the 49ers\u2018 timeline and when he knew he would be starting.<\/p>\n
\u201cToday, really. I know he had a plan for his shoulder all week. He was going to rest it a little bit on Wednesday. I think we kind of split reps there on Wednesday, he was going to rest it a little bit. And then I think the plan was Thursday to come out and practice and I guess just in warmups, just wasn\u2019t feeling right,\u201d Allen said.<\/p>\n
And while\u00a0the Niners\u00a0veteran clearly doesn\u2019t want Purdy to be injured, Allen couldn\u2019t help but to admit that he is excited for the chance.<\/p>\n
\u201cYeah, it\u2019s an opportunity. The circumstances are what they are, but I think our team, all year long, we\u2019ve been kind of dealing with injuries here and there and it\u2019s been a big next-man-up mentality. So it\u2019s definitely an opportunity for me to go out and play well and put our guys in a good position to win the game.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
