Purdy suffered a shoulder injury in the 49ers' game last week and is among multiple players on the team's injury report. That means veteran backup quarterback Brandon Allen will get his first start of the season for the 49ers (5-5) against the Packers (7-3).

Allen became a 49er on May 8, 2023, signing as a free agent. The 49ers, who up to that point seldom kept a third quarterback on the 53-man roster, kept Allen as a No. 3 all season behind Purdy and Sam Darnold after the previous year’s injuries to Trey Lance, Jimmy Garoppolo, and finally Purdy in the NFC Championship Game. Allen did not take a snap.
