The San Francisco 49ers are dealing with several key injuries coming out of Week 1, but there’s encouraging news for quarterback Brock Purdy as the team prepares for their Week 2 matchup against the Saints.
Brock Purdy – Shoulder & Toe Injuries
According to Pro Football Doc, Brock Purdy injured his non-throwing shoulder on a third-down play but finished the game without missing any snaps. According to 49ers Head Coach Kyle Shanahan, Purdy is "a long shot" to play in Week 2 and said it could be a multi-week injury. We will continue to monitor as the week progresses.
Jauan Jennings – Shoulder/Collarbone
Wide receiver Jauan Jennings is awaiting results of a CT scan on his left shoulder, but Dr. Chao believes he’ll be available even if he’s forced to wear a protective sling during practice and the game this week. The 49ers have signed WR Kendrick Bourne as they are still without Brandon Aiyuk, who is not expected to return until mid-season.
George Kittle – Hamstring Injury
The biggest blow is tight end George Kittle, who was placed on IR on Tuesday. The earliest Kittle could return would be for the Oct. 12 game at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Despite the IR placement, Pro Football Doc still considers the injury a minor strain since it is not season-ending.
