ANALYSISHead coach Kyle Shanahan made it clear earlier in the week that
Joshua Dobbs would start the final regular-season game. Purdy banged his right throwing elbow toward the end of a Week 17 loss to the Lions, missing the final few minutes after playing well for most of the night. San Francisco general manager John Lynch said Friday that Purdy's injury isn't anything serious and isn't related to his 2023 elbow surgery, per
Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News. Purdy should be fine for the start of the offseason program.
