Unfortunately for San Francisco, Purdy’s silence has spoken volumes. Amid his third season, Purdy will miss the first game of his career due to injury.
In addition to Purdy, defensive end Nick Bosa is among 49ers who will also be out against Green Bay.
Through 10 games this year, Purdy has completed 66% of his passes for 2,613 yards, 13 touchdowns and eight interceptions.
Purdy will be replaced under center by Allen. Sunday will mark Allen’s first start since Week 18 of the 2021 season for the Cincinnati Bengals. In his career, Allen has made just nine career starts.
“I think Brandon’s a really good thrower, runs our offense well, has done a really good job since he’s been here,” Shanahan said. “Been here two years now, and guys believe in him and think he’ll give us a good chance to win.”
The 49ers kick off against the Packers at 4:25 p.m. ET on Sunday.
