49ers Suffer: Juszczyk Out with Concussion, Purdy and Kittle Already Absent

49ers Suffer Key Losses in Matchup Against the Saints

The San Francisco 49ers face significant challenges in their match against the New Orleans Saints, with several important absences in their lineup. Adding to the previous absences of starting quarterback Brock Purdy and tight end George Kittle, is the absence of fullback Kyle Juszczyk, who suffered a concussion in the second quarter of the game. Juszczyk was quickly ruled out for the rest of the game after spending several minutes in the medical tent. Kittle, due to a hamstring injury, was placed on the injured reserve list earlier in the week, while Purdy was ruled out on Friday due to injuries to his toe and left shoulder. Despite being listed as questionable, left tackle Trent Williams (knee) and wide receiver Jauan Jennings (shoulder) started the game against the Saints. With Juszczyk’s absence, the Niners will rely on tight ends Jake Tonges, Luke Farrell, and Brayden Willis to cover his position.
