Brock Purdy's Injury Status Uncertain for Game

The New York Jets and San Francisco 49ers are struggling this NFL season, both underperforming expectations as Super Bowl contenders. Jets owner Woody Johnson suggested benching quarterback Aaron Rodgers after a disappointing 3-8 start, raising speculation about his future with the team. Meanwhile, the 49ers, currently at 5-5 and last in the NFC West, face uncertainty with quarterback Brock Purdy, who is dealing with a sore throwing shoulder and is a game-time decision for their matchup against the Packers. Reports indicate that if the Jets release Rodgers, the 49ers could be interested in acquiring him, rekindling interest from a previous trade attempt. Despite the speculation, 49ers management remains supportive of Purdy, who has been inconsistent this season but has not missed a start since becoming the starter. The upcoming game against Green Bay is critical for both teams' playoff hopes and for Purdy's future as the 49ers' quarterback.
