The 49ers appeared to be headed for the NFC West title and a guaranteed playoff berth. Although they will have to do so without starting quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo, they can still succeed.
Due to a foot ailment, Garoppolo will be absent for the next 7-8 weeks. San Francisco is now using Brock Purdy as their third quarterback after losing Trey Lance early in the season. Following Garoppolo's injury, Purdy guided the 49ers to a victory over the Dolphins, but he poses a risk going forward.
