While Kittle is not going to play this next week, there is the possibility that the initial field marshal Brock Purdy cannot play either.
Shanahan said that Purdy is dealing with left shoulder injuries and feet, and that he would not guarantee that his field marshal can play against the Saints of New Orleans. Shanahan also said that the foot of the foot was the worst of the two ailments.

“I’m not sure, it has to do how it cures and how the week passes,” Shanahan said about Purdy.
If Purdy is not available for the 49ers, his support is the veteran Mac Jones, the 2021 first round of the New England patriots that did not work. He moved to the Jacksonville Jaguars, where he gained experience by surviving when it was necessary.

Jones appeared in 10 games, seven of which were beginnings, instead of Trevor Lawrence last season for the Jaguars. Jones launched eight touchdowns and eight interceptions during his time as a Jaguars Campo Marshal.
Finally, the open receiver Jauan Jennings suffered a shoulder injury that also eliminated him early from the game. But the 49ers avoided a serious situation, since ESPN reported that Jennings’s magnetic resonance became clean. However, they will look again with a computerized tomography.
Unfortunately for the 49ers, they have dealt with serious injuries to the key players in recent seasons, especially McCaffrey and their bilateral Achilles tendinitis last season.
But McCaffrey seemed very common to start his ninth NFL season, with 69 yards per land in 22 hauls while caughting nine Purdy passes for 73 yards.

The 49ers will be forced to have other players in the depth table, including Jake Tengues, the closed backup wing that scored the winning touchdown of the game at the end of the last quarter.
