The Buffalo Bills defense could be catching a break as San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy may not play in their Week 13 showdown.
Despite the game being more than a week away, there is a chance that the San Francisco 49ers may be without starting quarterback Brock Purdy for their Week 13writer Grant Cohn. "We got the MRI on Monday. We thought he just needed some rest and really weren't concerned about him not being good this week. But when he started up Thursday, just surprised him, surprised us, how it felt. So we had to shut him down. So, I really don't what to think of it.
Purdy's absence would offer a major advantage for the Bills' defense, which currently ranks 14th against the pass as it's allowing 210 yards per game. The unit is also ninth in points allowed per game at 19.5. Purdy's absence would allow Buffalo's defense to shift its focus to playmakers like Christian McCaffrey and Deebo Samuel.
There's still some time between now and Week 13, so circumstances regarding Purdy's status can certainly shift. Regardless, this is something to monitor ahead of the primetime bout.Updates on offseason departures that were supposed to sink first-place Bills
