49ers stash Brock Purdy for playoffs; McCaffrey eyes NFL title rush
The San Francisco 49ers have decided to rest top seed Brock Purdy for their regular-season finale against the Los Angeles Rams. As the 49ers’ only healthy scratch, Purdy’s absence does not affect the team’s playoff position. Instead, Sam Darnold will start the match, while the Rams will replace Matthew Stafford with Carson Wentz. Coach Kyle Shanahan explained that the decision aims to avoid injuries and prepare for the playoffs optimally. Meanwhile, Running back Christian McCaffrey is set to secure the NFL rushing title with 1,459 yards in 16 games and will also sit out Sunday due to a mild calf strain.
