They worked on Purdy’s shoulder before practice yesterday, and held him out. I didn’t hear anything new this morning, but Bosa, Trent Williams, and Purdy were all out yesterday, and there is concern. If they don’t play on Sunday, the 9ers are gonna lose. They probably will lose anyway, but they have no chance without those guys.
I haven’t heard about Kittle’s condition, but he and Williams are the only guys on the OL who can block, and in Kittle’s absence, the 9ers rush game has been bad. It’s still top 10, I think, but without Kittle, it’s been bottom 1/3 of the league the last couple of weeks.
It just isn’t their year. Been there, done that, recognize the symptoms.
Incidentally, Deebo has had a significant falloff in breaking tackles. McCaffrey and Kittle have a lot of mileage, and looks like Deebo is fading, too. The outlook for the 49ers is absolutely brilliant. And to make it even better, some Shanahan grumblings have started, and that makes the picture even rosier. There is speculation that the league has “figured him out.” I think that’s bollocks, and I doubt there is any concern inside 49er headquarters, but it’s fun to listen to the fans whine.
