Hill and Getsy to compete for third QB spot

Brock Purdy is now one injury away from starting. While the San Francisco 49ers have expressed a lot of confidence in the last overall pick in this year's draft, having the rookie lead a championship-caliber roster probably isn't ideal. Veteran Jimmy Garoppolo is the starter moving forward following the season-ending injury to Trey Lance, last year's No. 3 overall pick. Lance will undergo surgery today on the broken ankle suffered in the first quarter of Sunday's 27-7 win over the Seattle Seahawks. Purdy hasn't even been active in San Francisco's two games this season. However, he may suit up for Sunday's matchup against the Denver Broncos. Fullback Kyle Juszczyk

There were a number of topics addressed by the San Francisco 49ers after Sunday's 19-10 loss to the Chicago Bears, but nothing dominated the discussion more than the amount of costly penalties the team committed during the game. The 49ers were flagged 12 times for 99 yards in the game, while the Bears committed just three penalties for 27 yards. The penalties often came at costly times for the 49ers and helped keep drives alive for the Bears, who were able to use those mistakes in their favor in their second half rally from a 10-0 deficit. "It's tough to win when you do that stuff," 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said after the game. "We always talk about do it right longer, and I think today was the exact opposite of that."

San Francisco 49ers fullback Kyle Juszczyk can't wait to get back to California and put this ugly Week 1 road loss to the Chicago Bears behind him. His teammates probably feel the same way. Most expected the Niners to coast their way to a 1-0 start on the 2022 season. Instead, the Bears pulled off the upset, and the 49ers must search for answers. San Francisco couldn't hold onto their 10-point lead at rain-soaked Soldier Field. The team committed 12 penalties for 99 yards and turned the ball over twice—a recipe for disaster. "Football is a finicky thing," Juszczyk said in the visitor locker room after the 19-10 defeat. "The whole thing I was saying on the sideline to everybody ... yes, it was 10-0. I felt like we had that game in complete control. But when
