The 49ers have been dealt some unfortunate injury news this week, to say the least.
Quarterback Brock Purdy will be a "long shot" to start Sunday's game vs. the Saints, coach Kyle Shanahan said on Wednesday. Purdy is dealing with left shoulder and toe injuries. On top of that, San Francisco placed star tight end George Kittle on the injured reserve list on Tuesday as he deals with a hamstring injury from Week 1.
