Kyle Shanahan Optimistic About Brock Purdy For Week 17

11 months ago

San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan told the media that he thinks quarterback Brock Purdy (stinger) will be alright for Week 17 versus the Washington Commanders. The MVP candidate initially suffered his injury during the second half of Monday's loss to the Ravens. The team initially listed him as questionable to return, but he remained on the sideline as a matter of precaution. He finished the contest having completed 18 of 32 passes for 255 yards, zero touchdowns, and four interceptions. Sam Darnold finished the game under center. Shanahan did note that stingers can worsen the day after they are suffered, so it's too early to confirm his status for Sunday's game. Nevertheless, it sounds like he should be okay, putting him back in the QB1 range for fantasy football ahead of a very favorable matchup.
