Brock Purdy Oblique
49ers quarterback Brock Purdy’s magical run could be derailed this week, thanks to an injury he suffered on a running play that didn’t count.
Coach Kyle Shanahan told reporters on Monday that Purdy’s oblique injury happened on the second drive of the game. On a third and 11, Purdy scrambled and dove for the chains.
“I think we ended up having a holding call on it and had to run it again,” Shanahan said, accurately remembering the exchange. “I think we ran a screen, the next play and I believe that’s where he felt it. Then it just got worse on him throughout the game.”
Purdy keep going, despite the injury.
“I think it was a challenge for him,” Shanahan said. “Just talking to him and seeing him after the game and i think he really toughed it out, did some real good things with it and I know he is sore today, so hopefully the MRI will be good and give him a chance to play Thursday.”
Shanahan added that the injury is on Purdy’s left side, away from his throwing arm. But, as Shanahan explained it, that doesn’t make it any easier to deal with.
“Your oblique is a big muscle that goes across everything,” Shanahan said. “When you throw it’s your whole core, so I feel like it’s not good either way.”
The best news is that Purdy played so much of the game with the injury. It suggests that maybe he’ll good to go on Thursday night against the Seahawks.

“Brock Purdy’s dad feeling all the emotions watching his son,” Bleacher Report tweeted. Now, that’s what it’s truly all about.
The Purdy family made the trip to San Francisco to watch Tom Brady, but they got a major bonus, getting to see their son’s first NFL start, as well.
That was awesome to see. Purdy is just 22 years old, and his family got to witness a crowd of 70,000 people chanting his name in his first NFL start. It is hardly a surprise that Purdy’s dad had a tough time holding it together.
College
Purdy entered his freshman year at Iowa State in 2018 as the third string to Kyle Kempt and Zeb Noland. He became the starter after Kempt was injured and Noland was ineffective.
