The 49ers will start Brandon Allen at QB on Sunday against the Packers in place of an injured Brock Purdy, coach Kyle Shanahan said Friday. DE Nick Bosa also will miss the game with injuries to his left hip and oblique.
The Niners officially ruled out Purdy and Bosa Friday afternoon, just before the team was scheduled to fly to Wisconsin. Coach Kyle Shanahan announced that veteran again listed as questionable, the 5-5 Niners could be without three of their most important players in a game they desperately need to stay in the postseason hunt.
Then Purdy was on the field for some light throwing before Thursday's practice, but that clearly didn't go well as he retreated to the weight room for further treatment. That apparent setback surprised the 49ers. According to Shanahan, Purdy had an MRI on the shoulder Monday and it did not show any structural damage that would offer cause for concern that he could miss extended time. But Shanahan also said he was unsure when Purdy will be back.
With Purdy out, Allen is poised to make his 10th regular-season start since entering the league as a sixth-round pick of thein 2020 and 2021. He has been with the 49ers since 2023, running the scout team against the defense for much of that time. Shanahan said that despite his injury, Purdy will travel with the team to Green Bay. Bosa, however, will not. Bosa has been dealing with injuries to both hips and obliques, though the left side has been more bothersome this week.
