Dr. David Altchek spoke with Fox News Digital to explain the procedure San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy could undergo to return to action by training camp.

With four 49ers QBs suffering injuries this season and Tom Brady retired, San Francisco needs to figure out who will be under center in 2023.

The 49ers valued the 6-foot-6 Sudfeld because of his prototypical size, versatile skill set and obvious rapport with Lance. Sudfeld, a 28-year-old career backup, became a trusted friend and mentor to the raw but talented Lance while spending most of the previous season on the 49ers practice squad. The 49ers’ perception of Purdy’s role began to change when he exceeded expectations during OTAs and training camp. The 49ers had to decide if they would use a valuable 53-man roster spot on either quarterback as a third stringer behind Lance and Garoppolo. Irrelevant has not only stepped into the limelight but also at times performed like the 49ers’ quarterback of the future.

I think everyone looks into it, but it’s also nice to keep a good player away from the team that we have to compete with year in and year out." McCaffrey joins a talented group of playmakers in San Francisco with versatile receiver Deebo Samuel, star tight end George Kittle and receiver Brandon Aiyuk. McCaffrey could get his first shot with the 49ers when they host Kansas City. “I don’t know if there’s anyone better at putting guys in positions to have success, in tailoring to what they’re good at,” McCaffrey said. He has played a lot of football this year and he’s played really good football.

General manager John Lynch still views his San Francisco 49ers as a Super Bowl contender despite a string of injuries, lackluster performances and a 3-3 start to the season.

Dow has soared more than 1,500 points in two days, regaining some ground lost in the previous two weeks.

After getting carted off in the first quarter with an injury, it appears that San Francisco 49ers quarterback Trey Lance's season is over early.

Jimmy Garoppolo is staying in San Francisco after agreeing to a reduced contract to be the backup to Trey Lance on the 49ers.

In 2019, the San Francisco 49ers traded a second-round draft pick to acquire Dee Ford from the Kansas City Chiefs, then signed him to an $85.5 million contract with more than $33 million guaranteed. The 49ers cut Ford following an injury-plagued stint that saw him play just 18 games in three seasons and fail to return to the Pro Bowl form that made him one of the NFL's most coveted pass rushers. Ford flashed that promise as a backup in his first season in San Francisco, tallying 6.5 sacks in 11 games on a loaded defensive line that featured Nick Bosa and Arik Armstead on the ends. He finishes his three-season 49ers tenure having played 18 games while tallying 22 tackles, 9.5 sacks and three forced fumbles. He made just two starts in San Francisco.

NFL Draft Football North Dakota State quarterback Trey Lance, right, holds a jersey with NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell after being chosen by the San Francisco 49ers with the third pick in the first round of the NFL football draft Thursday April 29, 2021, in Cleveland. 12 to 3 in the NFL draft, the pressure on the organization was immense. After spending the final two days of the draft adding players to help Lance on offense and address their defensive depth, the Niners can finally catch their breath. Lance will report to rookie minicamp in less than two weeks and then take part in the full offseason program. He and his family then planned to go house hunting and Shanahan gave Lance some advice about the notoriously expensive Bay Area real estate market.

From the moment San Francisco made the decision to trade two future first-round picks to move up from No. 12 to 3 in the NFL draft, the pressure on the organization was immense.

Few analysts predicted that the 49ers would select Trey Lance with the No. 3 pick in the NFL draft, but San Francisco wasn't afraid to go bold.

The San Francisco 49ers have made their highly anticipated pick.

The 49ers have made a big move to grab their quarterback of the future by trading up with Miami for the No. (AP Photo/Winslow Townson, File)SANTA CLARA, Calif. – For San Francisco 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan, the biggest risk wasn't trading three first-round picks for the No. “It’s a risk every single year you go into an NFL season without one of those top five guys,” Shanahan said Monday in his first public comments since last week's big trade for the No. 12 when looking for a quarterback, Shanahan believes he will be able to grab the players who will eventually replace Jimmy Garoppolo as starter. San Francisco is 22-8 when Garoppolo starts compared to 7-27 with any other quarterback since Shanahan was hired.

Charles Woodson beat out Peyton Manning for a prestigious college award. On Saturday, Feb. 6, 2021, they likely will share an even more impressive football honor: entry into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Not three years later, Manning threw 55 touchdown passes — that record still stands as the most in a season — and started in the Super Bowl for the Broncos. But he guided the Broncos to a win in Super Bowl 50 — then left the field forever. He finished his career with 65 interceptions and 13 defensive touchdowns, tied for the career record with Rod Woodson and Darren Sharper.
