It's only Week 2, but the San Francisco 49ers are already dealing with their fair share of injuries.
Quarterback Brock Purdy came through against the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday to get a win, but in doing so, he accumulated multiple injuries. As a result, Purdy's status for this week's matchup vs. the New Orleans Saints remains a question moving forward.
Purdy has had to deal with injuries throughout his young career, as he missed three combined games in 2023 and 2024. Now, Purdy begins the 2025 season with multiple injuries that could impact his availability.
Here's a look at Purdy's status for this week.

| Rank | Player |
| 1. | Brock Purdy |
| 2. | Mac Jones |

Purdy's absence would mean San Francisco would elevate Adrian Martinez from the practice squad to backup Jones on Sunday. Martinez has never played in an NFL game but spent last season on the New York Jets practice squad.
