The San Francisco 49ers enter Week 8 facing renewed questions about the health of their starting quarterback, Brock Purdy. The 2025 season has already tested the team’s depth and resilience, with Purdy’s absence stretching the offense and forcing head coach Kyle Shanahan to make adjustments.

Quarterback Brock Purdy will miss his fourth straight game for the San Francisco 49ers because of a toe injury.

Purdy last spoke to the media on Sept. 30, although he did have a conversation with NBC sideline reporter Melissa Stark when the 49ers beat the Atlanta Falcons. Stark reported Purdy called the injury “annoying” and that he’d never dealt with an injury that lingered so long.

The San Francisco 49ers finally got the run game going in a 20-10 win over the Atlanta Falcons over the weekend.

In an interview with KHON-TV on Monday, Hawaii Gov. Josh Green discussed the upcoming demolition and rebuilding of Hawaii's premier athletic venue, which needs some collaborative funding. Green specified the hope to bring NFL games back to the Hawaiian Islands and said he was going to be having a conversation with the San Francisco 49ers.

The Falcons get another national TV game in Week 7, this time on NBC's Sunday Night Football. Cris Collinsworth and Al Michaels will call Sunday night's action from the broadcast booth.
