San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan announced that the team has ruled out the quarterback Brock Purdy for Sunday’s playoff rematch against the Green Bay Packers. Purdy has been managing a shoulder injury suffered during last Sunday’s game against the Seattle Seahawks, significantly limiting his participation in practices throughout the week.

Earlier in the week, he was optimistic that Purdy would be ready for the Week 12 game after reporting to the team on Monday with a sore shoulder. However, concerns grew as the week progressed, with Purdy struggling to take the field alongside his teammates during training sessions.

With Purdy out, veteran quarterback Brandon Allen will pitch for his first start with the 49ers and his first since 2021. He has been with the team the last two seasons.

Purdy started all 10 games this season, amassing 2,613 passing yards, 13 touchdowns and eight interceptions. His absence will be a significant setback for a 49ers team struggling to turn its season around and get back into the NFC West race.

Defensive end Nick Bosa (hip/oblique) and cornerback Charvarius Ward were also excluded.
