49ers-Eagles Injury Updates: Brock Purdy forced to return after Josh Johnson injury
The San Francisco 49ers are playing the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC Championship Game at Lincoln Financial Field in Pennsylvania. The team entered the game missing three players due to injuries. They are quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo (foot), running back Elijah Mitchell (groin), and cornerback Ambry Thomas (ankle). All three were among San Francisco's seven inactive players.
Below are the 49ers-related in-game injury updates.

What Kyle Shanahan and John Lynch said at the 49ers' end-of-season press conference
San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan and general manager John Lynch held their end-of-season press conference on Wednesday. Here is everything they had to say.
Transcript provided by the San Francisco 49ers Communications staff.
We spoke to QB Brock Purdy yesterday and he mentioned getting some more images done yesterday afternoon. Any clarity coming out of that as far as what kind of surgery he's going to have, how long he'll be out?

It's a fascinating read. Silver argues that the quarterback woes have more to do with poor luck than Shanahan unnecessarily putting his signal-callers in harm's way.
Whether or not you want to accept Silver's stand on the situation is up to you. The topic has created much debate among the fanbase, but it is a discussion for another day.

John Lynch: Brock Purdy continuing to evaluate options, 49ers still expect 6-month recovery
There was concern that San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy might require reconstruction of the torn ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) in the elbow of his throwing arm rather than a repair, lengthening his recovery from about six months to maybe a year. However, nothing has led the 49ers to believe the more extensive procedure is required.
Purdy suffered the injury during Sunday's NFC Championship Game when Eagles pass rusher Haason Reddick hit his arm in the first quarter. He returned to the game in the second half after backup Josh Johnson was ruled out with a concussion, but Purdy could not throw the football, attempting just one pass after the injury.
"Yeah, I think he's continuing to get some different opinions, talk to different people, which I think
