49ers' Brock Purdy 'Tenuous' Vs. Packers With Shoulder Injury: GM Lynch
Purdy Battling Through Shoulder Pain
Trey Lance Standing By
"Trey's been working hard," said Lynch. "He's ready to go. If Brock can't go, Trey will be the guy."
Packers' Defense Presents Stiff Challenge
"They're a great defense," said 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan. "We're going to have to be ready for anything they throw at us."
Outlook for the 49ers
The 49ers' hopes of advancing to the NFC Championship Game rest heavily on Purdy's ability to play. If he can't go, Lance will need to step up and perform against a formidable Packers' defense.
"We're confident in either quarterback," said Lynch. "But we're hoping that Brock can get healthy enough to play."
Take Away
The 49ers' playoff hopes will be in jeopardy if Purdy is unable to play on Sunday. Lance is a capable backup, but he has not played in a real game since the early part of the season. The Packers' defense will present a stiff challenge for Purdy or Lance, but the 49ers will need to find a way to move the ball if they want to advance to the NFC Championship Game.
