49ers Battle Injuries Before Season Finale

The San Francisco 49ers head into their Week 18 game against the Arizona Cardinals with several key players sidelined due to injuries. Quarterback Brock Purdy and wide receiver Deebo Samuel are among those ruled out, with the 49ers concluding a disappointing season without playoff contention. Tight end George Kittle, who was questionable earlier, is set to play, while Josh Dobbs will start as quarterback in place of Purdy. Despite the absence of some starters, including Nick Bosa and Deommodore Lenoir, the team is making adjustments with available players like Jauan Jennings and Ricky Pearsall stepping up as primary receivers. The 49ers' final practice reports indicate some players were upgraded but concerns remain for others, as injuries have plagued their roster throughout the season.
