Brock Purdy’s status for Week 8’s matchup between the 49ers and Bengals was uncertain after the quarterback went into concussion protocol. That raised the possibility that backup Sam Darnold could start.
Purdy cleared concussion protocol on Saturday, allowing him to start against Cincinnati. But the CBS graphics department appeared unaware of that information, judging from what was shown on screen as the second half began.
Broadcasters Jim Nantz and Tony Romo were recapping the first half as a graphic showed the statistics of the two quarterbacks. But Darnold was on screen next to Joe Burrow instead of Purdy. Romo didn’t say anything about the gaffe, but as San Francisco’s Jake Moody kicked off, Nantz addressed the mistake presented to viewers.
