San Francisco has won four in a row since starting quarterback Brock Purdy returned from the toe injury that cost him eight starts. Their offense will be without second-year wide receiver Ricky Pearsall, who caught six passes for 96 yards last week against the Tennessee Titans. They'll need to find someone else to make an impact in the passing game alongside George Kittle, Christian McCaffrey and Jauan Jennings.
