49ers Face Uncertainty as Injuries and Struggles Threaten Playoff Hopes

San Francisco's season hangs in the balance with mounting injuries and a must-win road game against the Packers on Sunday.

Quarterback Brock Purdy is dealing with a right shoulder injury, casting doubt on his availability for Sunday's game against Green Bay.
Key players, including Nick Bosa, Trent Williams, and George Kittle, are also battling injuries, adding to the 49ers' challenges.
The 49ers' offense has struggled with red zone efficiency and explosive plays, compounded by injuries to Brandon Aiyuk and Christian McCaffrey's recovery from Achilles tendinitis.
San Francisco's defense, historically a strength, has seen significant declines in pass rush effectiveness and run defense, exacerbated by injuries and roster changes.
With a 5-5 record and a tough remaining schedule, the 49ers must overcome these obstacles to stay in playoff contention in a competitive NFC West.
