Overview
- The Cardinals (3-6) host the 49ers (6-4) at State Farm Stadium on Sunday at 4:05 p.m. ET on Fox.
- Brock Purdy is expected to start after a turf toe layoff, and Arizona’s 18.6% pressure rate ranks among the league’s lowest, potentially easing his comeback.
- Arizona lists 18 players on this week’s injury report, with Marvin Harrison Jr. out after an appendectomy and Zay Jones sidelined by an Achilles injury, plus linebacker Mack Wilson Sr. unavailable.
- Under Jacoby Brissett, Arizona has averaged 24.8 points per game, with two touchdown passes in four straight games against just one interception, though ball security remains a concern with four fumbles.
- The Cardinals average 6.55 plays per drive (fourth in the NFL) but rank 17th in scoring percentage, and betting lines and previews narrowly favor San Francisco (49ers -3, O/U 47.5).
