49ers QB Brock Purdy dealing with right shoulder soreness - ESPN
SANTA CLARA, Calif. — On an already lengthy injury list full of some of the biggest names on the team, the San Francisco 49ers had another significant addition Monday: quarterback Brock Purdy.
Coming out of Sunday's loss to the Seattle Seahawks, Purdy is dealing with soreness in his right (throwing) shoulder, according to Niners coach Kyle Shanahan. At first blush, the shoulder issue does not appear to be long term, but Purdy will be watched closely when the Niners begin their practice week Wednesday.
«He's day-to-day,» Shanahan said.
Shanahan wasn't sure if there was a specific play that directly affected Purdy's shoulder but said the soreness is likely the result of hits Purdy took during the game against Seattle. Shanahan added he didn't think the shoulder soreness affected Purdy during the game.
Purdy was 21-of-28 for 159 yards with a touchdown and an interception against the Seahawks while being sacked twice. He also rushed five times for 40 yards and a touchdown where he took some additional hits.
Still, Sunday's game was a slog for a Niners offense that had its lowest total yardage output (277) since Week 6 of last season and couldn't muster any plays longer than a 22-yard completion to wideout Jauan Jennings.
«I think they just did a good job with taking away our opportunities to go deep,» Purdy said. «They kept everything in front of them.»
Purdy isn't the only key 49er the team will be monitoring for pain and soreness this week. Defensive end Nick Bosa's status appears as tenuous this week as it did last week after he injured his left hip and oblique against the Seahawks.
Bosa entered the Seattle game with a right hip and oblique issue, but when he sacked Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith with about nine minutes
