Sun Nov 24 13:00:00 UTC 2024: ## 49ers Face Must-Win Game Against Packers Without Purdy and Bosa

**San Francisco, CA** – The San Francisco 49ers face a critical showdown against the Green Bay Packers on Sunday, severely hampered by injuries to key players. Starting quarterback Brock Purdy is out with a shoulder injury sustained last week, and star pass rusher Nick Bosa will also miss the game due to a hip and oblique injury.

Veteran Brandon Allen will start at quarterback for the 49ers, with Josh Dobbs serving as backup. While Dobbs won’t see the field unless Allen is injured, head coach Kyle Shanahan praised his contributions to the team this season.

The 49ers’ injury woes come at a crucial time, as the NFC West remains incredibly competitive. The Seahawks, Rams, and Cardinals are all vying for playoff spots, making every game a must-win for San Francisco. Their remaining schedule is brutal, including matchups against division rivals who have already defeated them this season.

A loss to the Packers would drop the 49ers to 5-6, potentially putting them two games behind the Arizona Cardinals in the division. Purdy’s health will be crucial for the 49ers’ playoff hopes, but even with a win, their path to a postseason berth remains precarious. A strong finish is imperative if they hope to repeat their deep playoff run of last season.
