Starts one game in 2024

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy suffered an elbow injury in the final minutes of the team’s 40-34 loss to the Detroit Lions in Week 17. He exited the game and did not return. What is his status for Week 18 against the Arizona Cardinals?

A look at the quarterback's strengths and shortcoming as the 49ers begin negotiating a new, multiyear contract.

The 49ers have taken their time with most of their big-ticket extensions under John Lynch and Kyle Shanahan. Brandon Aiyuk and Nick Bosa signed just before the past two seasons, respectively, while the Deebo Samuel and George Kittle deals occurred during training camp. Brock Purdy is targeting a deal much earlier.
