FOX has reported that San Francisco 49ers tight end Vernon Davis is out for the rest of the game with a concussion.
Davis left the field before the end of the first half after what appeared to be a fumble, but was officially called an incomplete pass after a review. Davis' head hit the turf during the play.
Davis leads the 49ers in receiving touchdowns this season and is a huge loss for the 49ers, who are currently struggling to pass the ball against the Carolina Panthers.

Eagles' Lane Johnson agrees matchup vs. 49ers would have been "a different game" with healthy Brock Purdy
Lance Johnson fought through injuries to play in the Philadelphia Eagles' three playoff games, including the Super Bowl. The offensive lineman suffered a torn adductor injury late in the regular season but held off on undergoing surgery to participate in the Eagles' playoff run.

Kyle Shanahan feels "really fortunate" with 49ers' QB room
Kyle Shanahan praises his quarterback room every year. Last season, the San Francisco 49ers went through three starting quarterbacks and still made it to the NFC Championship Game. Trey Lance was the Week 1 starter but suffered a season-ending ankle injury during his second game. Eleven weeks later, Jimmy Garoppolo sustained a broken foot.
That opened the door for rookie Brock Purdy to show his coaches and the NFL world that he belonged, despite being the last overall pick in the draft. Purdy guided the 49ers to eight consecutive wins before suffering a severe injury in that NFC title game matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles.
