Brandon Allen will start at quarterback for San Francisco 49ers’ in place of Brock Purdy on Sunday against the Green Bay Packers

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy missed his first game of his career due to a shoulder injury, forcing Brandon Allen into the starting role against the Green Bay Packers. Purdy’s shoulder soreness arose unexpectedly during practice, prompting an MRI and concern from head coach Kyle Shanahan. Allen, a nine-year veteran, last started in 2021.
