Mon Mar 31 06:40:00 UTC 2025: ## 49ers’ Bosa and Purdy Cite Fatigue as Factor in Disappointing Season
**SANTA CLARA, CA** – San Francisco 49ers defensive end Nick Bosa and quarterback Brock Purdy have pointed to player fatigue as a contributing factor to the team’s disappointing 6-11 record in the 2024 season. After three consecutive deep playoff runs, reaching at least the NFC Championship Game each year, both players welcomed the extended offseason this year.
Bosa described the previous three seasons as a “grind,” highlighting the lack of sufficient recovery time. Purdy echoed these sentiments on the Built 4 More podcast, stating that the grueling schedule, running from July training camp to late February, left players exhausted and physically worn down by the time the next season approached.
While the 49ers now have a longer break to recuperate, they face the challenge of adapting to significant roster changes on both offense and defense as they aim for a return to NFC contention in the upcoming season.
