On the 49ers podcast with Joe Hawkes:

#1 Talk about how the 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy got the concussion against the Minnesota Vikings. Played showed a Viking defender’s helmet hit Purdy’s helmet directly head on while he jumped over a pile up?

#2 Recovery time is short for Purdy since the game was on Monday Night and head coach Kyle Shanahan said Purdy might get in the line up this Sunday.

#3 Purdy was involved in every snap in last Monday’s game against the Vikings throwing 22 for 37 passes for 282 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception.

#4 Tell us about this if Purdy does sit and back up quarterback Sam Darnold is starter. Darnold was singed by San Francisco in March, he participated last season in the Carolina Panthers last six games as a starter.

#5 Joe, as you see it how will the 49ers do against the Cincinnati Bengals who have won three of their last four games. The 49ers have the home field.

Joe will be taking next week off during the 49ers bye week. Joe does the 49ers podcasts each Saturday at http://www.sportsradioservice.com
