Two California behemoths collide as the Los Angeles Rams and the San Francisco 49ers face off for Thursday Night Football. However, while the Rams are missing a few players to injury, the 49ers are coming into Thursday’s game a lot more banged up than any other NFL team right now, with several big names expected to not play against the Rams.
This raises the question of who will be playing on Thursday, and who among the big 49ers names will be missing?
San Francisco 49ers Week 5 Injury Report
Brock Purdy
His battle with turf toe is not yet over and he has been listed to not play on Thursday against the Rams. Turf toe is a very painful injury despite the name, with Purdy already missing a game for the injury-filled 49ers already.
