The San Francisco 49ers defeated the Seattle Seahawks in an NFC West Week 1 matchup to open up the season. However, it didn't come without a cost.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that quarterback Brock Purdy suffered multiple injuries in the win, and could miss Week 2 against the New Orleans Saints.

"Brock Purdy has a left shoulder and toe injury that make him uncertain for Sunday’s game in New Orleans," Schefter reports. "Kyle Shanahan said the team will see how the practice week goes. If Purdy cannot play, 49ers backup QB Mac Jones would be in line to start."

Tight end George Kittle is also dealing with a hamstring injury that will keep him on the shelf for multiple weeks, and Jauan Jennings is dealing with an injury, as well, which caused the team to bring back veteran wide receiver Kendrick Bourne.
