Brock Purdy gave his O-line trucks worth almost his entire 2024 salary

What a gift!

Brock Purdy is probably going to get a much bigger contract at some point, but for now, the San Francisco 49ers QB makes just under $1 million a year, per Spotrac.

So what do you do when you’re supposed to gift something awesome to your offensive line like Joe Burrow (katanas!) usually do every year, as is the tradition?

The answer is simple: you gift them trucks, one each. That’s right, Purdy got them Toyota Tundras or Sequioas. I’ve seen some folks peg that value around $800,000, which is wild.

But it’s a good reminder that Purdy is a Toyota national partner, so maybe he got some help there.

Either way, this is pretty awesome:

Brock Purdy’s future lands on NFL analyst’s Panic Meter

Brock Purdy’s future is a question mark for one NFL exec.

Week 15 wasn’t Brock Purdy’s best performance as a pro.

Purdy and the San Francisco 49ers posted only six points in a 12-6 loss to the Los Angeles Rams on Thursday during a rainy night at Levi’s Stadium.

The 49ers QB finished the game 14-of-31 for 142 yards and one interception. His turnover was a backbreaker late, and it was a poor throw and poor decision.

While Purdy hasn’t been the 49ers’ biggest problem in 2024, his outing in Thursday’s rainy game after bad nights in two cold-weather contests against the Packers and Bills was enough to land San Francisco’s signal caller on the NFL Panic Meter produced by the Athletic’s Mike Sando.

On the 10-point scale, Purdy and his future in San Francisco landed at a 5.5 thanks to an NFL executive who has questions about whether he’d give the QB a massive extension once he’s eligible in the offseason.

Via the Athletic:

“The new contract for Purdy (in the offseason) was a slam dunk for me until Thursday night,” an exec from another team said. “What I saw was a guy who was so limited physically that, I’m not saying I don’t want him, it’s just the first time I’ve said, ‘Hmmm, he can’t make those throws.’”

Perhaps it was the weather. Perhaps Purdy was injured. Whatever the case, his performance changed the conversation around him for some. The next few weeks will provide more information heading into a big offseason for San Francisco. The 49ers could let Purdy play out his contract. They could draft or sign competition for him. They could re-sign him to any number of deals. It’s easier to envision more options than what seemed like the obvious one for a long time.

The Athletic’s Dianna Russini on Saturday reported Purdy is still in the 49ers’ long-term plans under center, but he may have to prove himself worthy of an extension in the $55 million range over the next few weeks.

How his contract shakes out will shape the entire next era of football in the Bay Area.

Brock Purdy is still 49ers franchise QB per report from NFL insider

Brock Purdy’s contract extension still appears to be coming this offseason.

2024 hasn’t been the best year of 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy’s career.

His regression has aligned with some injuries to the team’s cache of offensive weapons, leading to questions about Purdy’s viability as a franchise signal caller outside of a perfectly crafted ecosystem.

Those external questions don’t linger insider the organization according to the Athletic’s Dianna Russini. She reported the team still believes Purdy is their franchise QB.

Via the Athletic:

The dark cloud hanging over the San Francisco 49ers just won’t seem to lift. It’s been a difficult season, one that’s felt “off” since the summer, but the team is sticking to its plan. They’re firmly committed to Brock Purdy as their long-term quarterback. I’ve been told the 49ers are still planning to negotiate a multi-year contract extension with Purdy this offseason, backing up the message they’ve consistently sent: “Purdy is our quarterback.”

Purdy this season has seen dramatic dips in virtually every statistical category, and his play as a quick, accurate decision maker has given way to a less decisive, more risky downfield passer.

However, there has been enough adversity to believe there’s a bounce back coming for Purdy. He also appears to be coming into his own as the team’s offensive leader.

The 49ers have Purdy under contract through 2025. He’s extension-eligible after this season, though. The team could conceivably wait until after 2025 to work out an extension, but putting the most important position on the field in limbo isn’t necessarily conducive to the long-term health of the roster.

Purdy bailed the 49ers out when the Trey Lance situation went sideways. Now head coach Kyle Shanahan appears poised to hitch his wagon to Purdy after this season despite an imperfect year.

Taylor Swift has the best response about if Brock Purdy is the subject of Paper Rings

This is the best exchange.

With a song title like Taylor Swift’s Paper Rings, you could see that being sports related, right? The winners get real rings and the losers get paper rings.

The reason I bring this up is because we got extended footage of Swift talking to a patient at Children’s Mercy Hospital in Kansas City, and the girl asks the singer if Paper Rings is about San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy — remember, Travis Kelce and the Kansas City Chiefs defeated him in the Super Bowl earlier this year — and Swift was surprised.

“I don’t mind Brock Purdy but … ” Swift said. “He put me through a lot last February, I was very stressed for a second.”

Good answer!

Brock Purdy finds Jauan Jennings for early TD vs. Bears

Brock Purdy and the 49ers struck early with a touchdown pass top Jauan Jennings against the Bears.

Following a pair of frustrating blowout losses, the San Francisco 49ers didn’t waste much time bouncing back early against the Chicago Bears on Sunday in Santa Clara.

After an impressive drive down the field to open the game, the 49ers finished their opening possession with a touchdown. Brock Purdy found Jauan Jennings for a short 7-yard touchdown pass to get the 49ers’ on the board, 7-0.

Prior to his touchdown pass to Jennings, Purdy hit George Kittle and Isaac Guerendo for back-to-back long gains to set up the 49ers in the red zone.

Kyle Shanahan has positive update on Brock Purdy shoulder injury

Brock Purdy’s shoulder is good to go.

It looked after Week 11 like another injury might take out one of the San Francisco 49ers key players.

Quarterback Brock Purdy suffered a right shoulder injury during the 49ers’ loss to the Seattle Seahawks that looked like it may wind up hindering him as the team tried holding onto its increasingly slim postseason hopes.

Purdy missed Week 12 vs. the Green Bay Packers, but returned in Week 13 vs. the Buffalo Bills.

It was hard to judge just how healthy Purdy was in Buffalo because the weather conditions and game script made it difficult for the 49ers to execute their passing game.

After Purdy went through a full week of practice leading up to Week 14 vs. the Chicago Bears, head coach Kyle Shanahan is confident the signal caller is fully healthy.

“He is good,” Shanahan said. “We had to wait a while to give him rest to make sure it healed, and we could see that it did at the end of last week and that’s why there’s no issues last Sunday and it’s been great all week. So, glad to get him back to full-speed and get him a full week of practice.”

With running backs Christian McCaffrey and Jordan Mason out, the 49ers desperately need Purdy to play at the level he played in 2023 when he was an MVP candidate.

Getting there without weapons like McCaffrey, Mason and wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk will be difficult, but doing it with a banged up throwing shoulder would’ve been nigh impossible.

Some good news for 49ers on 1st Week 14 practice report

49ers practice report for Wednesday is here:

The San Francisco 49ers on Wednesday began their week of practice as they gear up for what amounts to a season-ending stretch of must-win games if they hope to sneak into the postseason.

Their first practice report of the week had a handful of good news with linebacker Dre Greenlaw and safety Talanoa Hufanga both appearing as limited participants. Greenlaw is returning from a torn Achilles he suffered in the Super Bowl. He had his 21-day practice window opened last week in hopes he’ll be able to return from the PUP list in time to play in 2024.

Hufanga hurt his wrist in Week 5 and went on IR. He had his 21-day practice window opened and also appeared as a limited participant.

Both players are due to hit free agency in the offseason, so getting on the field to end the year may be a priority for them even if the 49ers don’t have anything to play for down the stretch.

Quarterback Brock Purdy was also a full participant after returning last week from a shoulder injury. He didn’t suffer any setbacks during the game and figures to be on track to suit up against the Chicago Bears on Sunday.

Here’s the full practice report:

Did not participate

LG Aaron Banks (concussion)
DE Nick Bosa (hip, oblique)
LB Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles (knee)
RB Jordan Mason (ankle)
LT Trent Williams (ankle)

Mason figures to go on IR with a high ankle sprain he suffered in Week 13. Bosa and Williams have missed the last two weeks, and both will be evaluated throughout the week to determine whether they’ll be able to return in Week 14.

Limited participation

LB Dre Greenlaw (Achilles)
S Talanoa Hufanga (wrist)
CB Deommodore Lenoir (knee)

Lenoir missed Week 13 after hurting his knee the previous week. It looks like he’s trending toward a Week 14 return.

Full participation

DT Jordan Elliott (concussion)
DE Sam Okuayinonu (wrist)
RG Dominick Puni (shoulder)
QB Brock Purdy (shoulder)

Good signs all around here. Barring a setback this quartet will play against Chicago.

49ers injury news: QB Brock Purdy officially active vs. Bills

Brock Purdy is officially back.

The San Francisco 49ers are extremely banged up going into their Week 13 showdown with the Buffalo Bills.

However, they will at least have starting quarterback Brock Purdy this week after he missed Week 12 with a shoulder injury. He was limited for Wednesday and Thursday’s practices before getting a full participation in Friday.

Head coach Kyle Shanahan indicated Friday he expected Purdy to play, and ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported Saturday that Purdy made it through Saturday without any setbacks and would suit up against the Bills.

The 49ers made that official Sunday afternoon when Purdy was not among their list of inactive players.

Here’s who won’t suit up for San Francisco:

QB Brandon Allen (Emergency QB)
DE Nick Bosa (hip, oblique)
OT Trent Williams (ankle)
CB Deommodore Lenoir (knee)
LG Aaron Banks (concussion)
DT Jordan Elliott (concussion)
LB Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles (knee)

Interestingly, Josh Dobbs is the backup signal caller for the first time with Purdy starting this season. That may be an indicator of some news things the 49ers can do with their run game if they elect to roll a more mobile QB on the field.

Cornerback Renardo Green (neck), defensive tackle Kevin Givens (groin) and wide receiver Chris Conley (knee) are all active after being listed as questionable.

Will Brock Purdy play this week? Injury updates for 49ers QB

49ers QB Brock Purdy is dealing with a shoulder injury. Here are the latest updates.

It looks like the San Francisco 49ers might get their quarterback back under center in time for a Week 13 matchup with the Buffalo Bills.

QB Brock Purdy injured his shoulder in Week 11 against the Seattle Seahawks and wound up missing the team’s blowout Week 12 loss to the Green Bay Packers.

Brock Purdy injury update

Purdy was limited throughout Week 12 and was ultimately ruled out on the Friday injury report. That changed in Week 13 where he was limited Wednesday and Thursday, then participated in full during Friday’s session.

The 49ers officially listed Purdy as ‘questionable,’ but head coach Kyle Shanahan sounded optimistic about the starting signal caller’s chances to suit up in Buffalo.

“Yes. I mean, lots of things can happen between now and then,” Shanahan said. “But right now he’s playing, so he’s doing good. He had a good day.”

ESPN’s Adam Schefter on Saturday night reported Purdy didn’t suffer any setbacks and would play.

We’ll officially find out 90 minutes before Sunday night’s scheduled 5:20pm Pacific Time kickoff.

How long was Brock Purdy out?

Purdy missed only one game, and even if he winds up missing Week 13, it doesn’t sound like his status would be in jeopardy well beyond this week.

49ers QB depth chart

If Purdy can’t go it would be Brandon Allen as the starter with Josh Dobbs suiting up as the backup QB. Allen started in Green Bay and completed 17-of-29 throws for 199 yards, one touchdown and one interception.

49ers injury report full of bad news despite good Brock Purdy update

The 49ers Week 13 injury report is
 not good.

The San Francisco 49ers expect to get quarterback Brock Purdy back for their Week 13 matchup with the Buffalo Bills. That’s where the good injury news ends for San Francisco.

Head coach Kyle Shanahan on Friday after practice told reporters Purdy was a full participant in practice and is expected to play in Buffalo. Purdy missed Week 12 in Green Bay with a shoulder injury and was limited Wednesday and Thursday.

Another group of injured starters isn’t expected to suit up, putting San Francisco’s chances of winning against a top AFC Super Bowl contender severely in jeopardy.

Here’s the injury report for Sunday:

Out

DE Nick Bosa (hip, oblique)
OT Trent Williams (ankle)
LB Dre Greenlaw (Achilles)
CB Deommodore Lenoir (knee)
LG Aaron Banks (concussion)
DT Jordan Elliott (concussion)

Bosa and Williams were also out for Week 12. Lenoir was hurt in that game, as were Banks and Elliott. Greenlaw had his practice window opened ahead of Week 13, but he’s still ramping up and won’t play against the Bills.

Questionable

QB Brock Purdy (shoulder)
WR Chris Conley (knee)
DT Kevin Givens (groin)
LB Demetrius Flanagan-Fowles (knee)
CB Renardo Green (neck)

Purdy’s return should be helpful for the 49ers, but the other injuries are a big enough deal that even the starting signal caller’s return may not help enough. Givens’ return would be significant given Elliott’s absence, and Green figures to start in the slot if he plays since Lenoir is ruled out.

Cornerback Charvarius Ward is not listed after
