Purdy was seriously banged up; it was nearly Josh Johnson time.
GM John Lynch saidPurdy is such a star, in fact, that his legend is getting burnished the way legends do in the NFL: through anonymous"leaks" to well-placed reporters. The second Thursday night's game ended, Adam Schefter had a tweet ready to go.
"One team official wondered if Purdy would make it through tonight’s game," the ESPN reporter said."Another texted, 'he's in pain.' And he now has 10 days off to recover." Though the Niners clinched the division Thursday night, it's not quite time to put Purdy on ice. With three games remaining, they're a half-game behind the reeling Vikings for the NFC's No. 2 seed, which would mean a guaranteed home game in the divisional round. The playoffs are still a full month away. At this rate, it might take Shanahan four or five quarterbacks to get there.
