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 is dealing with a shoulder injury suffered during last Sunday’s game against the Seattle Seahawks, significantly limiting his participation in practice throughout the week.

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

With Purdy out, veteran quarterback Brandon Allen will make his first start with the 49ers and his first since 2021. He has been with the team for 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 trying to turn around its season and get back into the NFC West race.

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