Your daily San Francisco 49ers news for Thursday, December 28th, 2023
“San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan spoke with reporters before Wednesday’s practice, as the team prepares for its Week 17 matchup against the Washington Commanders. Here is everything he had to say.”
“Williams took part a day after undergoing an MRI, and his early-week practice availability is seemingly a signal that he will be available when the 49ers visit the Commanders on Sunday.”
Though Purdy’s throw to Samuel was a little off-target, it was catchable. Shanahan pointed out that neither of Purdy’s near-misses was the result of Baltimore confusing him with different defensive sets, which would be concerning for a rookie quarterback. Even Ravens cornerback Marlon Humphrey admitted that Purdy was rarely fooled on his forgettable night. Snead, who has spent the majority of the season on the practice squad and has been targeted with three passes, seemed to be slow to turn around for the ball.
Humphrey remarked, “That guy is tough to stop.” “He sort of reads everything perfectly. He doesn’t normally make too many mistakes, even though he did make some tonight.
Following the 49ers’ loss to the Baltimore Ravens on Monday night, Brown’s injury was not immediately known.
Concern exists, according to Shanahan. This week, we’re not ruling him out, but there are worries. He is therefore unable to go today.
“Each of Purdy’s turnovers were different, featuring a combination of bad decisions and bad luck.
The lists of modern-era finalists includes two first-time eligible candidates: defensive end Julius Peppers and tight end Antonio Gates….There are four returning finalists who advanced to the top 10 a year ago: wide receivers Andre Johnson, Torry Holt and Reggie Wayne, and defensive end Jared Allen.
Others who are back as finalists are return specialist Devin Hester, defensive end Dwight Freeney, tackle Willie Anders and safety Darren Woodson.”
