Last season, the 49ers of San Francisco had a touch of injury that the teams generally do not feel.
And now it seems that the 49ers could experience it.
The 49ers will be without the quarter-Arrière Brock Purdy for two to five weeks due to an injury to the toes, According to NFL Media. And if it was the only injury, it would not be ideal but manageable. Almost every team has injuries with which they are dealing, even at the start of the season. Having a quarter of a quarter for several games is a worst case, but Mac Jones is a capable backup.

But Purdy’s injury is not the only one. The tight winger George Kittle is on the injured reserve. The Receiver Jauan Jennings faces a shoulder problem. The offensive platform Trent Williams entered the first match with a knee injury. The 49ers had 12 players listed on the injury report on Wednesday. This is only week 2.
At least the 49ers are used to facing injuries. The same thing happened last season.
49ers deal with injuries again
The 49ers were decimated last season. According to the adjusted games Lost Metric by Aaron Shatz of Ftn FantasyThe 49ers lost the second largest number of games due to an injury in attack and the third most in defense last season. Unsurprisingly, the 49ers exceeded the league in lost matches due to an injury. They lost 141.2 games adjusted due to an injury, more than 22 more than any other team.

It’s just bad luck. And the chance of injuries that evil should not occur in consecutive years.
The 49ers went 6-11 last season despite a competitor of the Super Bowl in the season. When you lose all your runners, including Christian McCaffrey and you also have losses on three levels of the defense and also a wide receiver, even the best team can have two -digit losses.
This season, the 49ers have entered the season with one of the most projected victories in the NFL, despite the 6-11 last season. Oddsmakers thought that a team of healthy 49ers would rebound right away.
McCaffrey, whose sustainability was a subject of constant conversation all season, is healthy. He is one of the few in San Francisco.

Brock Purdy would have missed several games
This 49ers group had a super bowl window, of course. They led to a super bowl against the Chiefs of Kansas City There are two seasons, and lost. But they should have been suitors for at least a few more seasons.

It was a team that did not have a window that would last forever. There were aging stars like Kittle, McCaffrey and Williams. Purdy went from one of the cheapest quarters of the NFL to one of the most expensive. The ceiling problems led the team to have a massive talent to drain this offseason. The release of this week of the botter Jake Moody, a questionable third round choice in 2023, was a reminder of the many recent recovery choices on which the 49ers failed. It cut the depth of the list.
Suddenly, the concern is that the horrible luck in injuries could be a great reason why the 49ers have never conceded on their Super Bowl championship potential.
Purdy and Kittle will come back relatively early in the season, and the 49ers are good enough to sail in the start of the season calendar with a minimum of damage. Purdy and Kittle will probably manage their injuries even after their return, however. And it is not as if the 49ers were promised not to undergo new injuries in September. They seem cursed in this department.
If you look at the end of the season, the healthiest teams will be most of the field of the playoffs. The 49ers must ask themselves what they did to deserve this bad chance of injury once again.
