"Earlier this week, NFL insiders reported that All-Pro TE George Kittle was placed on the IR. He suffered a hamstring strain in Week 1. Jauan Jennings suffered a shoulder injury, but he is expected to be back soon. However, San Francisco was hit with tough injury news ahead of their Week 2 matchup. Starting QB Brock Purdy has turf toe and is out at least 2-5 weeks for the 49ers. That's unfortunate injury luck early in the year."
"Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network said Purdy is expected to miss two to five weeks. That means Brock Purdy will be out at least two games for San Francisco. He'll miss Week 2 vs. the Saints and Week 3 vs. the Cardinals. Purdy could miss more time depending on how quickly he recovers. Not ideal for the 49ers to start the new season."
San Francisco’s Week 1 win came with multiple injuries: All-Pro tight end George Kittle was placed on injured reserve after suffering a hamstring strain in Week 1. Jauan Jennings sustained a shoulder injury but is expected to return soon. Starting quarterback Brock Purdy suffered a turf-toe variant and is expected to miss two to five weeks, ruling him out for at least Weeks 2 and 3. Backup Mac Jones is expected to start in Purdy’s absence. Purdy’s recovery could require more time depending on his response to treatment, creating early-season uncertainty for the 49ers.
