Brock Purdy concussion: A look at Darnold’s backup history and the 49ers’ reserve QB performance under Shanahan

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 22:09:04 GMT

Brock Purdy is in the NFL’s concussion protocol and the 49ers may again have to turn to their backup quarterback, who is Sam Darnold this season.Darnold arrived in the offseason after Jimmy Garoppolo, the No. 2 last season, left for the Raiders in free agency as the 49ers picked Brock Purdy, last year’s third-stringer, as their new starter.The quarterback injury carousel is not a device unfamiliar around the league, but the 49ers’ version brings particular intrigue because of its history: Steve Young supplanted Joe Montana; Colin Kaepernick took over for Alex Smith; and Purdy replaced Garoppolo and Trey Lance.So, what can fans expect if Purdy is unable to start Sunday’s game against the Bengals?The 49ers have been positive since training camp about Darnold learning coach Kyle Shanahan’s offense, but there isn’t much to parse from this regular season: He is 1-of-1 passing for 1 yard. In the preseason, he was 22-of-33 for 282 yards, two touchdowns a...

BYU faces 3rd consecutive Big 12 backup QB at No. 7 Texas. OSU’s Gordon goes for another 100

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 22:09:04 GMT

Things to watch in the Big 12 Conference in Week 9:GAME OF THE WEEKBYU (5-2, 2-2 Big 12) at No. 7 Texas (6-1, 3-1). The Longhorns are coming off a shaky performance and starting quarterback Quinn Ewers is recovering from a sprained throwing shoulder. That sets up BYU to face an opponent’s backup quarterback for the third game in a row. Texas still controls its path to the Big 12 championship game, and potentially the College Football Playoff if it can avoid a second loss. The Longhorns led 21-0 early last week and held on for a 31-24 win after Houston’s fourth-down incompletion with a minute left from the Texas 10.That came right after a contested spot that coach Dana Holgorsen called “horrible.” Ewers got hurt after taking a hit on a scramble in the third quarter of that game, and Maalik Murphy is expected to start in his place Saturday. BYU last week won 27-14 over a Texas Tech team using its third quarterback, Jake Strong. That came after a 44-11 loss at TCU with backup QB ...

With Melvin gone, Preller is tasked with hiring his 5th Padres manager since mid-2015

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 22:09:04 GMT

SAN DIEGO (AP) — Just a year removed from a stirring run to the NL Championship Series that captivated a championship-starved fan base, general manager A.J. Preller of the big-spending San Diego Padres has to hire a new manager yet again.Bob Melvin’s departure to his hometown Giants — with a year left on his Padres contract — ends a fractured two-season relationship with Preller, although both men said they could have moved forward together if the NL West-rival Giants hadn’t come calling. With Melvin gone following the Padres’ flop this season despite a $258 million opening-day payroll, the third-highest in baseball, Preller must hire what will be his third manager in four seasons and his fifth since mid-2015. That’s a pretty substantial churn rate for a general manager with no 90-win seasons, no division titles and no pennants since he was hired in August 2014. “You want to find talented people that are here for a long time,” Preller said Wednesday. “You look at a...
