The San Francisco 49ers might be with out their beginning quarterback for his or her Week 8 matchup in opposition to the Cincinnati Bengals because the group introduced Brock Purdy is in the NFL’s concussion protocol, (*8*).
Purdy began having concussion-like symptoms on the plane ride home following San Francisco’s 22-17 Monday night time loss to the Minnesota Vikings. In the loss, Purdy finished 21 of 30 passes for 272 yards, one landing and two fourth-quarter interceptions. He was once no longer sidelined for a concussion or concussion-like signs all over the game.
In a good building, the 23-year-old was once noticed taking part all over the start of Thursday’s follow. He was once observed dressed in a helmet and doing mild drills.
Still in concussion protocol, Purdy being at the follow box is a brilliant signal but some distance from promises he’ll play this week.
If Purdy is not able to play in this quick week, Sam Darnold would get started underneath heart for the 49ers. San Francisco is 9-29 underneath Shanahan with beginning quarterbacks no longer named Purdy or Jimmy Garoppolo.
The 49ers have now dropped two directly video games after successful 15 consecutive regular-season contests. Purdy threw 9 touchdowns and 0 interceptions in the primary 5 video games of the season, however simply two touchdowns in comparison to 3 interceptions during the last two video games.
