San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy's season is likely over, but he was able to avoid a serious injury in Monday's loss to the Detroit Lions.
Head coach Kyle Shanahan told reporters on Tuesday that Purdy is unlikely to play in Week 18 against the Arizona Cardinals after being diagnosed with a right elbow bruise and nerve inflammation.
Purdy has been one of several 49ers players who has dealt with injuries throughout the 2024 season. He missed a Week 12 loss to the Green Bay Packers due to a shoulder injury suffered the previous week against the Seattle Seahawks.
