Opponent profile

The Niners are dealing with injuries across the board. After the joint practice Thursday, 49ers Head Coach Kyle Shanahan noted that 20 players did not practice.

"It was a challenge to get through that," he said. "I thought we needed it. I was real proud of the guys, a number of positions had to step up, especially DB, D-line, wideout. But I thought we competed hard out there."

Quarterback Brock Purdy didn't play in last week's loss to the Broncos, and Shanahan hasn't made a decision yet on if starters will play Saturday.

"I'd like Brock to play but I haven't decided anything for sure yet. ... I planned on getting these starters going. There might be a couple guys I rest, but there's not a lot, especially on the defense, there's not a lot of healthy starters as it is."
