Per Pelissero, 49ers QB Brock Purdy is getting an MRI today on his injured oblique. Purdy got hurt on the game's second drive Sunday and obviously played well after it. So, not a lot of concern pending further tests. But a quick turnaround for Thursday night in Seattle.

The injuries keep mounting for San Francisco quarterbacks, as Josh Johnson is the only other active quarterback after being signed a week ago. Look for the team to call up Jacob Eason from the practice squad if Purdy's results come back with bad news.

Sources: Doctors concluded today that 49ers' QB Jimmy Garoppolo does not need foot surgery, it is not a Lisfranc injury, and if rehab goes smoothly, he could have a chance to return in 7-8 weeks, making him a potential playoff contributor.

Seven weeks from Sunday's game would put Jimmy G possibly back on the field Jan. 22, which would be the second round of the playoffs assuming the 49ers make it and win in the opening round. While they can depend on their great defense, Purdy or Johnson will have to do enough on offense to get the Niners to that point.

After Jimmy Garoppolo suffered a season-ending foot injury on Sunday, reports emerged that San Francisco would sign quarterback Josh Johnson off the Broncos’ practice squad to back up Brock Purdy.

Now that move has become official, with the 49ers announcing they’ve signed Johnson to a one-year deal on Tuesday afternoon.

Johnson was one of the only quarterbacks available who had even a little experience in the 49ers system. He was briefly with the club in 2020, the story said. The story also added it's still possible the team could sign free agent Baker Mayfield.
