Called into action to replace an injured Brock Purdy today, San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brandon Allen was spotted wearing a mysterious wrap of some sort on his left middle finger before Sunday’s game against the Packers.
Fans first noticed Allen’s finger, which had black tape wrapping all around it and may have a white splint inside it as well, in a photo posted by the team itself during pregame warm-ups. While Allen was in a hoodie for that photo, subsequent videos after he got into uniform also show him with his left middle finger wrapped up.
