"Brock Purdy is good to go, but the rest of the 49ers' injury picture is muddled as they prepare for their playoff game against the Philadelphia Eagles in the wild card round. Purdy sustained a left shoulder stinger in the middle of a Seattle sandwich sack on his last snap of the game in a 13-3 loss to the Seahawks Saturday night in the regular-season finale at Levi's Stadium. Brock checked out good, coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday in a conference call with local writers."
"The most significant injury was to middle linebacker Tatum Bethune, who had a groin tear and will miss the rest of the season. He'll be replaced by Eric Kendricks, a veteran who was signed Nov. 26. Players who will be evaluated throughout the week include left tackle Trent Williams (hamstring), wide receiver Ricky Pearsall Jr. (knee/ankle) linebacker Dee Winters (ankle) and Luke Gifford (quad). Williams and Pearsall did not play against Seattle."
"Those considered day to day are safety Ji'Ayir Brown (ribs), defensive tackle Kalia Davis (knee) tendonitis. What is day to day as opposed to being evaluated throughout the week? It means it's Monday and there's a chance they might be good by Wednesday, or a chance they might be good by tomorrow. The other ones we see as more evaluated throughout the week."
