The San Francisco 49ers will be without both starting quarterback Brock Purdy (right shoulder) and defensive end Nick Bosa (hip/oblique) when they play the Green Bay Packers this weekend, coach Kyle Shanahan announced Friday.
Purdy was listed as a limited participant in practices on both Wednesday and Thursday, and did not practice Friday due to shoulder soreness following Sunday’s 20-17 loss to the Seattle Seahawks.

The 24-year-old has started all 10 of San Francisco’s games this season, completing 66 percent of his passes for 2,613 yards, 13 touchdowns and eight interceptions. He’s also rushed for 267 yards and four touchdowns.
With Purdy out, Shanahan also confirmed Friday that backup quarterback Brandon Allen is set to start this weekend against the Packers.
Kyle Shanahan said they were surprised when Purdy had trouble throwing the ball on Thursday. “We were fully prepared for Brock to go.”
He said Purdy’s shoulder started tightening up toward the end of the game and then grew more painful after the game.

Bosa did not participate in practices this week after exiting Sunday’s game in the second half. Bosa leads the 49ers in both sacks (seven) and tackles for loss (10) through 10 games this season, and has 36 tackles.
The 49ers (5-5) travel to play the Packers (7-3) at 4:25 p.m. ET on Sunday.
