Overview

• Brock Purdy enters 2025 as the 49ers’ entrenched starter under a five-year, $265 million extension that cements him as the franchise quarterback.
• The latest injury report listed four players limited or out of practice, including Jauan Jennings, Dominick Puni and Jordan James as limited and Jordan Watkins as a DNP, with Jennings still expected to be available for Week 1.
• San Francisco promoted Marquez Valdes-Scantling to the active roster and released Russell Gage Jr., then brought Gage back on the practice squad.
• An unnamed NFL executive, quoted by The Athletic and reported by Newsweek, questioned Purdy’s value at his $53 million-per-year range and cited concerns about the receivers and offensive line.
• Purdy has a 5-1 record against the Seahawks and is 3-0 at Lumen Field, a positive data point as he tries to rebound from a 2024 statistical dip after his standout 2023 season.
