On prime of the 49ers 40-34 loss to the Detroit Lions, San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy re-injured his throwing elbow on Monday night time.
Purdy mentioned he “100 percent” needs to play in Sunday’s regular-season finale on the Arizona Cardinals (7-9). The 49ers (6-10) clinched final place within the NFC West courtesy of this sixth loss in seven video games.
This 49ers’ residence finale opened with a lot of what The Trustworthy restlessly sought this season: Purdy in MVP-caliber type; Deebo Samuel scoring a landing; George Kittle bulldozing defenders; first-round choose Ricky Pearsall making grabs on a breakout night time (eight catches, 141 yards); and, Nick Bosa harassing the opposing quarterback.
Alas, the 49ers couldn’t hold tempo with the Lions, nor rally previous them like final matchup, once they overcame a 24-7 halftime deficit and gained the NFC crown 34-31.
