The San Francisco 49ers are in some huge trouble after the harrowing news surrounding Brock Purdy.

The San Francisco 49ers have been bitten by the injury bug already, after the news that tight end George Kittle would be placed on injured reserve this week with a hamstring injury.

Now quarterback Brock Purdy is expected to miss multiple games.

Coach Kyle Shanahan had previously informed reporters that Purdy is a “long shot” to play in Week 2 vs. the New Orleans Saints due to toe and left shoulder injuries. That led to the team being linked to a trade for Kirk Cousins.

Things only got worse on Thursday as Brock Purdy is reportedly set to miss multiple games due to a toe injury suffered during the team’s Week 1 win over the Seattle Seahawks.

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported that Purdy is dealing with “a variant of turf toe” that is expected to keep him out for between two and five weeks.

Brock Purdy is set to miss multiple weeks of action due to injury. This is terrible news after the team signed him to a massive five-year, $265 million extension.

Purdy had an inconsistent season-opener as he went 26-of-35 for 277 yards, two touchdowns, and two interceptions.

He dealt with injuries in 2024, but he went 26-of-35 for 277 yards, two touchdowns, and two interceptions for a 49ers team that went 6-11 and missed the playoffs.

He might not be perfect, but he certainly is the franchise quarterback.

With Purdy on the shelf, the 49ers will turn toward Mac Jones under center.

Jones was just 18-24 as a starter for the Patriots. He then moved on to have seven starts for the Jags, going 2-5 in those games.

The 49ers desperately need him to be serviceable while Purdy recovers.

NBC dropped a huge announcement when they roped in the services of Michael Jordan. With the league returning to the network next season, NBC is said to have some big plans with the Chicago Bulls legend. While it is clear that he will be a part of the overall coverage, the media outlet has remained tight-lipped about the same. Till now, it was only known that Jordan will be acting as a ‘special contributor’ for NBC. But now, there might be some shocking details emerging.

Speaking on the topic, Alex Sherman of ‘CNBC’ provided some insight into the matter. He pointed out that the preliminary plans for Jordan are to appear in taped segments. This way, Jordan will be providing analysis on the games. These tapes are expected to be aired either at halftime or at the end of each game.

Extending the topic further, ‘CNBC’ also reported that the deal with Jordan was orchestrated by none other than his longtime friend, Jon Miller. Meanwhile, after landing such a huge deal, it is quite expected that Michael Jordan will be elated.
