Purdy Shines in 49ers' 41-22 Win, Injuries Put Kicking and LB Plans in Flux

Injuries to Tatum Bethune and Eddy Piñeiro trigger short-term roster moves, including Curtis Robinson’s elevation and a planned kicker workout.

Overview

  • Brock Purdy returned from a turf-toe layoff and went 19-of-26 for 200 yards and three touchdowns in the Week 11 victory to move San Francisco to 7-4.
  • Three takeaways and Skyy Moore’s 98-yard opening kickoff return produced elite field position, helping offset a 207-yard yardage deficit and a sackless pass rush.
  • Linebacker Tatum Bethune sustained a high-ankle sprain and will miss multiple weeks, with Kyle Shanahan indicating no immediate IR move and Curtis Robinson stepping in.
  • Kicker Eddy Piñeiro suffered a Grade 1 strain in his right hamstring, is week-to-week after leaving late, and the team will host kicker tryouts on Tuesday or Wednesday.
  • Defensive end Robert Beal entered concussion protocol, and the 49ers next host the Panthers on Monday Night Football.
