That one wasn’t Jake, that’s the whole operation. We got to do better.”

#3 Tight End George Kittle is out with a hamstring for a few weeks and quarterback Brock Purdy has a toe and shoulder injury. Shanahan said he was more concerned with the Purdy toe injury than the shoulder injury. Purdy could be possibly shelfed for the game in New Orleans Sunday.

Also in reverse will it work for 49ers knowing what Darnold could do?
