After a mostly healthy 2024, San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy's season has come to an early end.

Head coach Kyle Shanahan announced on Wednesday that Purdy will miss the team's season finale due to an elbow injury and Joshua Dobbs will start against the Arizona Cardinals.

Purdy missed one game in November after suffering a right shoulder injury against the Seattle Seahawks. He dealt with another injury late in the season, exiting the 49ers' Week 17 matchup against the Detroit Lions due to an elbow injury.

Luckily for Purdy, he avoided a long-term injury but was forced to miss San Francisco's season-finale against the Arizona Cardinals.
