Overview
- Kyle Shanahan said Brock Purdy sustained a left-shoulder stinger on the final offensive snap, checked out fine, and would have returned, with expectations he will be available for the wild-card game.
- Purdy briefly stayed down after being hit by two Seahawks defenders, walked off under his own power, entered the medical tent, and earlier had a bleeding thumb after striking a helmet.
- The Seahawks smothered San Francisco’s offense, holding it to 173 total yards and nine first downs; Purdy went 19-of-27 for 127 yards with one interception and three sacks as Christian McCaffrey was limited to 57 yards from scrimmage.
- The defeat eliminated the 49ers from contention for the NFC’s top seed and bye, sending them on the road to open the postseason next week.
- Shanahan flagged Winters (ankle) and Bethune (groin) as potential short‑term concerns, while indicating Trent Williams and Ricky Pearsall are expected to return for the playoff opener.
