US EditionBrock Purdy injury: 49ers QB dealing with toe, shoulder issues as status for Week 2 vs. Saints is uncertain
Coach Kyle Shanahan said tight end George Kittle will miss multiple weeks with a hamstring injury and quarterback Brock Purdy's availability is uncertain due to left shoulder and toe injuries.
- On Monday, San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said quarterback Brock Purdy has a left shoulder and toe injury that make him uncertain for Sunday's game in New Orleans, and the team will see how the practice week goes.
- During Sunday's opener, Brock Purdy injured his shoulder when driven into the turf in the first half, while tight end George Kittle left in the second quarter with a hamstring injury expected to sideline him for weeks.
- Purdy finished the game completing 26 of 35 passes for 277 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions, while undrafted tight end Jake Tonges caught his first regular-season reception, the go-ahead touchdown with under two minutes left.
- If Purdy cannot play, Mac Jones, backup quarterback, would start in New Orleans, and the San Francisco 49ers personnel group has yet to decide on George Kittle, tight end's injured reserve decision.
- Shanahan said the toe injury is more serious than the shoulder, Purdy is day-to-day, and the team is exploring practice-squad and workout options, including bringing back wide receiver Kendrick Bourne.
