Ruled out for Week 18
Purdy (elbow) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
Coach Kyle Shanahan made it clear earlier in the week that Joshua Dobbs would start the final regular-season game. Purdy banged his right throwing elbow toward the end of a Week 17 loss to the Lions, missing the final few minutes after playing well for most of the night. 49ers GM John Lynch said Friday that Purdy's injury isn't anything serious and isn't related to his 2023 elbow surgery, per Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News. It sounds like Purdy should be fine for the start of the offseason program.

No practice Thursday
Purdy (right elbow) didn't practice Thursday, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
Purdy hasn't officially been ruled out for the 49ers' season finale Sunday at Arizona, but his lack of activity so far this week forecasts the likely outcome for the third-year signal-caller, especially after coach Kyle Shanahan said Wednesday that Joshua Dobbs would get the start under center. As a result, Friday's injury report may confirm Purdy's lack of availability for Week 18 action after emerging from this past Sunday's loss to the Lions with a contusion and nerve inflammation in his right throwing elbow.
Won't start in season finale
The 49ers announced Wednesday that Joshua Dobbs will start in place of Purdy (elbow) in Sunday's Week 18 game against Arizona.
On Tuesday, head coach Kyle Shanahan stated that Purdy was diagnosed with nerve inflammation and a contusion in his right elbow. It comes as no surprise, then, that the playoff-eliminated 49ers aren't going to start Purdy for a Week 18 contest with little at stake. It's likely that Purdy will ultimately be ruled out, and he could even be placed on IR in order to open up a roster spot. With Dobbs set to start Sunday, Brandon Allen should continue to work as San Francisco's No. 2 quarterback.
Unlikely for Week 18
San Francisco head coach Kyle Shanahan said that Purdy was diagnosed with a contusion and nerve inflammation in his right elbow and is unlikely to be available for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Lindsey Pallares of the 49ers' official site reports.
Purdy sustained the injury with less than two minutes remaining in Monday's 40-34 loss to the Lions, resulting in Joshua Dobbs finishing out the game as the 49ers' quarterback. Given that the 6-10 49ers are eliminated from playoff contention, Purdy likely won't be rushed back to the field on a short week, especially after he previously had the same elbow surgically repaired after suffering a UCL tear in January 2023. Expect the 49ers to formally rule Purdy out for Sunday's game by the end of the practice week if they don't move him to injured reserve, but fortunately, Shanahan said that the signal-caller's injury isn't viewed as a long-term concern. According to Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area, Shanahan said a decision would be made later Tuesday whether Dobbs or Brandon Allen -- who was inactive Monday as the emergency third quarterback -- draws the Week 18 start in place of Purdy.
Injury not believed to be serious
Speaking after Monday night's loss to the Lions, coach Kyle Shanahan said Purdy's elbow injury isn't believed to be serious, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
Purdy will undergo an MRI on Tuesday, but the belief is that he's dealing with a nerve issue while initial tests on his surgically-repaired UCL came back okay, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports. Purdy was injured very late in the fourth quarter, and he was seen having his right arm examined on the sideline as Joshua Dobbs closed out the loss. With nothing to play for in Week 18 against Arizona, it wouldn't be a shock to see the Niners end Purdy's season a week early.
Leaves late with elbow injury
Purdy (elbow) completed 27 of 35 pass attempts for 377 yards, three touchdowns and two interceptions while rushing three times for 12 yards and a touchdown in Monday's 40-34 loss to Detroit.
Purdy danced around a pair of interceptions in order to deliver a gaudy fantasy score for fantasy managers in Week 17. The 25-year-old left some points on the table when he was forced to exit Monday's contest after absorbing a hard hit from a blindside sack just inside of the two-minute warning. Backup Joshua Dobbs finished the scoring drive for San Francisco before time expired. After the game head coach Kyle Shanahan announced that Purdy is dealing with an injury to his right elbow and will undergo further tests Tuesday, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports. Purdy should be deemed questionable for Sunday's season-finale against the Cardinals until more information is disclosed by the team.
Late INT taints bounce-back effort
Purdy completed 26 of 40 pass attempts for 313 yards, two touchdowns and one interception while adding 26 rushing yards on four attempts in Sunday's 29-17 loss to the Dolphins.
Purdy was coming off of his worst showing of the 2024 campaign, so it was a positive sign to see the star quarterback put together an improved fantasy line against Miami. It wasn't all roses for 2022's Mr. Irrelevant, as an ugly interception in the fourth quarter killed any hopes for San Francisco to make a comeback. Purdy also led the 49ers with his 26 rushing yards for an injury-riddled squad that was forced to start its fifth-string RB on Sunday. With his team out of playoff contention, Purdy will continue to play out the string in Week 17 against the Lions on Monday Night Football.
Miserable showing in loss
Purdy completed 14 of 31 passes for 142 yards with no touchdowns and one interception and rushed once for three yards in the 49ers' 12-6 loss to the Rams on Thursday night.
Purdy was able to engineer a short 39-yard drive on the 49ers' second possession that culminated in a field goal, but San Francisco punted on its other six first-half possessions. After another modest 34-yard march that led to three more points to open the second half, Purdy scuffled throughout most of the rest of the contest and also threw an interception at the Rams' goal line on a deep shot to Jauan Jennings with just over five minutes remaining in the game. The Rams would go embark on a marathon 13-play drive that left Purdy with just 11 seconds to try and get the 50 yards necessary for a potential game-winning score, but he threw incomplete and took a sack on the final two plays. Purdy has now thrown for 159 yards or fewer in three of his past four games heading into a Week 16 road trip to face the Dolphins on Sunday, Dec. 22.
Bounces back as expected
Purdy completed 20 of 25 pass attempts for 325 yards and a pair of touchdowns while rushing five times for 11 yards in Sunday's 38-13 win over the Bears.
Purdy did suffer an injury scare in the fourth quarter on a roughing the passer penalty that saw the quarterback's body bend backwards in an awkward fashion between two Chicago defenders. The star QB was writhing in pain on the ground following the hit, but he wound up missing just one play before returning to the field, as reported by 49ers' reporter Cam Inman. Aside from the brief injury scare, Purdy was firing on all cylinders against the scuttling Bears, which comes as a relief to fantasy managers following last week's dud against the Bills in the snow. Assuming that there are no lingering effects from getting clotheslined Sunday, Purdy could be in store for another high score in a potential shootout against the Rams on Thursday Night Football in Week 15.
