Josh Dobbs San Francisco 49ers Quarterback

With Brock Purdy ruled out for the San Francisco 49ers‘ Week 12 game against the Green Bay Packers due to a shoulder injury, Josh Dobbs will step in as the backup quarterback. Purdy, who has started every game for the 49ers this season, was unable to practice on Friday, leading to his exclusion from the upcoming match.

Brandon Allen, the primary backup quarterback, will start in Purdy’s place. However, Dobbs, who has more recent starting experience, will be ready as the second-string quarterback. In the 2023 season, Dobbs started 12 games between the Arizona Cardinals and the Minnesota Vikings, throwing for 2,464 passing yards with 13 touchdowns and 10 interceptions.

Dobbs, a veteran quarterback with eight years of NFL experience, brings significant depth to the 49ers’ quarterback position. His presence is crucial as the team fights for playoff positioning in the NFC.

The 49ers face a critical game against the Packers, and while Purdy’s absence is a significant loss, the team is hopeful that Allen and Dobbs can fill the gap effectively).
