Quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo’s foot fracture may not be as dire as initially feared but the 49ers are forging ahead with Brock Purdy and Josh Johnson.
Young, the last 49ers quarterback to win a Super Bowl, endorsed Purdy’s fearlessness and capability to keep the franchise on the playoff track. “Because they’re in the NFC, they’re in the mix, and with that defense, they’re in the mix,” Young said on ESPN’s Monday Night Countdown. “Brock Purdy, at the end of training camp, you heard he’s in the mix and is a player and will stick around and do things.
Although Garoppolo’s close-knit family helped get him through what Shanahan figured was a rough night, Monday brought some smiles. Nick Bosa came away with “hamstring irritation” that will have to be managed this week, Shanahan said. Bosa’s three sacks Sunday pushed him into the NFL lead with 14 1/2 this season. Bosa has missed 1 1/2 games this season, because of a groin injury in October.Defensive tackle Hassan Ridgeway strained a pectoral muscle, and although he’ll avoid surgery, he’ll be out six to eight weeks, Shanahan said. That foils his impactful season for the NFL’s No. 1 rushing defense.
Safety Tarvarius Moore sprained a knee Sunday and will miss multiple weeks, Shanahan said in Monday’s only other injury news.Garoppolo got hurt eight snaps into his work shift, when sacked at the 49ers’ 29-yard line by Jaelan Phillips and Jerome Baker, the latter of whom came unblocked around left tackle Trent Williams while Phillips rushed up field against right tackle Mike McGlinchey.
