Commander head coach Ron Rivera said Brisett took reps today and looked pretty good during Friday’s press conference. It’s been a rough season overall for the Commander, who are 4-11 in the midst of a six-game losing streak. San Francisco will have to bounce back from a 33-19 loss to the Baltimore Ravens, regardless of who gets the nod. The 49ers could lose their grip on first place in the NFC with a loss and a win over the Philadelphia Eagles on New Year’s Eve.
Brock Purdy Looks to Bounce Back vs. Commanders
If Howell gets on the field, he won’t be the only quarterback looking to recover. Niners quarterback Brock Purdy hopes to return after throwing four interceptions against the Ravens.
“In the games I’ve played, it’s good to rip something that’s a tight window or a tight contest, but at the same time to be in a smart position with the ball where the play is going,” Purdy told reporters. Thursday. “So I’ve played enough games myself that I think I understand when and where I can be aggressive and take a risk, take a shot and when I should go ahead, check it, throw it away, things like that.
” he added. Purdy is averaging 14.2 yards per carry with a 68.8% completion rate. Before Monday’s game, he had just seven interceptions in 14 contests “Like I said, it’s a situation and football is a situational game,” added Prudy. “This is where I have to grow and continue to order my experience.” “But when you’re a quarterback in the NFL, you have to be able to take risks, take risks and take windows at the right time,” Purdy continued. “That’s what I’m learning now.”
Niners Have Lesser QB Injury Concern Than Commanders
The Chiefs are dealing with joint pain in Brissett’s knee, but the 49ers have at least some concern about Purdy’s shoulder strain. The second-year quarterback was held to points in back-to-back games and did not return after Monday’s second game. “No, it was good. It was just a lot of healing and everything,” Purdy said. “Soreness all over the shoulder area, the trap area just got fixed, but it feels good. I’m good at this game.”
