The 2024 NFL season has been rough, to say the least, for the defending NFC champion San Francisco 49ers, as the storied franchise has dealt with numerous injuries to key players all year long.
After winning consecutive games against the Dallas Cowboys and Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the 49ers seemed to be returning to form heading into their Week 11 game against the Seattle Seahawks, setting up a divisional showdown that would have implications for the NFC West title.
Unfortunately for San Francisco, quarterback Brock Purdy emerged from the game with a shoulder injury that is now limiting him in practice.
Head coach Kyle Shanahan recently revealed his level of concern regarding the signal-caller.
“Says his level of concern of Purdy’s shoulder is ‘not much right now’ and they’ll see how the [week] goes,” Shanahan said, via Clayton Holloway of NFL Network.

After losing to the Seahawks and now sitting at 5-5 coming into Week 12, the 49ers face another thought NFC opponent, going on the road to play Jordan Love and the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field.
In addition to Purdy’s injury, tight end George Kittle is still dealing with a hamstring issue, resulting in him being limited in practice as well.
Even at full strength, San Francisco would face a formidable environment in Green Bay, which means it’ll be crucial to have Purdy and Kittle on the field to get the win.
