For the second year in a row, the San Francisco 49ers are dealing with multiple injuries to key players. On Sunday against the New Orleans Saints, tight end George Kittle and quarterback Brock Purdy were out of action due to hamstring and toe injuries, respectively.
The Niners were able to defeat the Saints, 26-21, behind a nice outing from QB2 Mac Jones to improve to 2-0 on the new season. Afterward, head coach Kyle Shanahan made a somewhat surprising statement about Purdy.
He said "there's a chance" that Purdy returns in Week 3 when San Francisco will host the Arizona Cardinals in its home opener.
"I think there's a chance," Shanahan said. "But we got to see how the toe goes. It's very up to debate. So we're just taking it a day at a time."
