49ers head coach leaves door open to rookie starting for 1st time in Week 9
The San Francisco 49ers are getting thin at linebacker, which could open up an opportunity for their third-round pick to start his first game.
San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan offered a cryptic update on the return of quarterback Brock Purdy.
Week 9 vs. Giants with three full practices and media sessions featuring Kyle Shanahan, Robert Saleh, and Klay Kubiak.
Houston, however, held him to 193 yards and picked him off once in the 26-15 win. Jones tossed two touchdown passes to tight ends George Kittle and Jake Tonges. If Purdy isn't healthy, Jones will be making start No. 7 on Sunday on the road against the New York Giants.
Long known as a great schemer, Shanahan has pressed all the right buttons elsewhere, helping his team overcome a mountain of injuries.
Amidst all the injuries the 49ers are dealing with, fans are hoping they make a trade to bring in a reinforcement or two.
