Snyder injured against Saints

The San Francisco 49ers appear to have emerged from Sunday's NFC Championship Game against the Philadelphia Eagles in relatively good health. However, they were not entirely unscathed. Head coach Kyle Shanahan, speaking to reporters after the dominant 42-19 win, provided injury updates. "[DT Arik] Armstead had a foot, didn't return," Shanahan said. "[TE Ross] Dwelley had ankle, didn't return." After practicing just once last week, the defensive tackle entered Week 13 listed as "questionable" for the clash against the Eagles. However, he was not among the 49ers' seven inactive players and

Another day, another decisive victory for the NFC West-leading San Francisco 49ers, who toppled the Seattle Seahawks for the second time in just three weeks. 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey started the game with a 72-yard run, and San Francisco kept the pressure on, outgaining Seattle by over 200 yards (527-324).

Despite the challenges, the defense successfully contained Seattle's main offensive threat, wide receiver DK Metcalf, limiting him to three catches for 32 yards on nine targets while primarily covered by cornerback Charvarius Ward. Ward's impressive performance held the 6-foot-4 wideout in check, allowing only one catch for 14 yards when matched against him. After the 31-13 victory, Ward revealed that the initial game plan didn't have him concentrating so heavily on Metcalf. This adjustment came late, but Ward embraced the

It's been 308 days since Brock Purdy suffered a UCL tear. Today, he returns to Lincoln Financial Field, the site of that injury, to lead the San Francisco 49ers in an NFC Championship Game rematch against the Philadelphia Eagles. Expectations are high for a more competitive game than last season's 31-7 rout. While Purdy isn't seeking revenge, the second-year quarterback eagerly anticipates matchups like these, relishing the prospect of playing again in front of a hostile crowd. "I'm really excited for it, honestly," Purdy told FOX Sports' Erin Andrews. "Going back, it's a great environment. These are the kinds of games that you grow up watching on TV, wishing you were in there.
