San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy will miss Sunday's game against the Green Bay Packers due to a shoulder injury that did not improve throughout the week. Although the MRI results were not concerning, the team will turn to Brandon Allen as the starting quarterback, who has limited experience in the NFL. This change is expected to impact the performance of the 49ers' pass catchers significantly, leading to a heavier reliance on running back Christian McCaffrey.
- Brock Purdy's shoulder injury is not long-term but will keep him out this week.
- Brandon Allen's lack of experience could negatively affect the 49ers' offense.
