Quarterback Brock Purdy will miss his fourth straight game for the San Francisco 49ers because of a toe injury.

The San Francisco 49ers enter Week 8 facing renewed questions about the health of their starting quarterback, Brock Purdy. The 2025 season has already tested the team’s depth and resilience, with Purdy’s absence stretching the offense and forcing head coach Kyle Shanahan to make adjustments.

Brock Purdy and Ricky Pearsall are going to miss another week, but both seem to be closing in on a return. Kyle Shanahan said that Pearsall did not have a setback, but rather they are just playing it safer with his return, while Purdy is traveling with the team, which signals he may be back soon.

The San Francisco 49ers finally got the run game going in a 20-10 win over the Atlanta Falcons over the weekend.

Quarterback Brock Purdy remains limited by a toe injury and could miss his fourth straight game for the San Francisco 49ers.

The Falcons and 49ers game will kick off at 8:20 p.m. ET on Sunday, Oct. 19. The San Francisco 49ers vs. Atlanta Falcons game will be broadcast on NBC on Sunday night. Streamers can also catch the game on Peacock or with Fubo, which comes with a free trial.

It’s the family business that 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan inherited from his dad, Super Bowl-winning coach Mike Shanahan. It’s that synchronized ballet of an offensive line firing off the ball in unison, moving left or right, attacking space first and defenders second.

The 49ers made room on the 53-man roster by placing four-time All-Pro linebacker Fred Warner on injured reserve with an ankle surgery and waived tight end Brayden Willis. The team had previously placed receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling on IR this week with a calf injury.

The NFL announced it is suspending Greenlaw for Denver’s Week 8 game against the Cowboys because the linebacker “chased after referee Brad Allen and verbally threatened him as he tried to leave the field,” the league’s statement read. According to multiple reports, Greenlaw immediately appealed the suspension.
