Mr. Irrelevant is now very, very relevant
early in their matchup against the Dolphins Sunday. Garoppolo, who was having one of his healthiest seasons with the 49ers, was carted off with an ugly lower-leg injury in the first quarter. The 49ers said he was out for the rest of the game; they initially termed it an ankle injury before announcing he hurt his foot.
The Niners started the season with robust quarterback depth, as Garoppolo was slated to back up Trey Lance. Kyle Shanahan elected to ride with Purdy, a rookie out of Iowa State, over veteran Nate Sudfeld as the No. 3 QB. He stuck with Purdy as the backup after Lance went down. Purdy was the 262nd and final pick in April's NFL Draft, which usually signals an anonymous career. He already made history in mop-up duty against the Chiefs in October, becoming the first-ever Mr. Irrelevant to complete a pass in the league. He made even more history Sunday, hitting Kyle Juszczyk for his first touchdown pass.Purdy made brief appearances in three games this season, completing four passes on nine attempts for 66 yards and an interception.
while getting tackled by Miami's Jerome Baker and Jaelan Phillips. Purdy led the offense 54 yards down the field to give San Francisco a 10-7 lead, but Shanahan has called a conservative offense with Purdy at the controls so far. In 13 plays with Purdy under center, seven were runs called for Christian McCaffrey.
