The 49ers have received injury updates on QB Brock Purdy and WR Ricky Pearsall ahead of their Week 8 clash vs. the Texans.

Quarterback Brock Purdy remains limited by a toe injury and could miss his fourth straight game for the San Francisco 49ers.

The 49ers have only nine sacks and Huff is the leader with four since Nick Bosa went out in Week 3. That means defensive coordinator Robert Saleh may have to take more chances than usual in terms of blitzing.

Although Mac Jones is 4-1 since stepping in as the starting quarterback for the San Francisco 49ers, Brock Purdy’s turf toe injury is turning out to be more serious than initially expected. It’s a strange situation. After injuring his toe in Week 1, he was rushed back and looked far from his usual self in his second game.

Kyle Shanahan and the San Francisco 49ers are coming off an impressive Week 7 win over the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday. The Niners hosted Bijan Robinson and the Falcons at Levi’s Stadium for a primetime showdown, and it was San Francisco who secured a 20-10 victory to improve to 5-2 on the season.

The NFL announced it is suspending Greenlaw for Denver’s Week 8 game against the Cowboys because the linebacker “chased after referee Brad Allen and verbally threatened him as he tried to leave the field,” the league’s statement read. According to multiple reports, Greenlaw immediately appealed the suspension.

It’s the family business that 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan inherited from his dad, Super Bowl-winning coach Mike Shanahan. It’s that synchronized ballet of an offensive line firing off the ball in unison, moving left or right, attacking space first and defenders second.

In Purdy's absence, Mac Jones, who had been branded as a bust over the previous couple of seasons, has filled in ably. In five games this year, Jones has thrown for 1,404 yards, six touchdowns and four interceptions, and some have speculated that there could be a brewing quarterback controversy in the Bay.
