49ers QB Dobbs to start Week 18 vs. Cardinals with Purdy out originally appeared on NBC Sports Bay Area
The 49ers will have a new quarterback for the Week 18 game against the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday at State Farm Stadium.
After starter Brock Purdy suffered a right elbow contusion in the 40-34 loss to the Detroit Lions on Monday night, backup Joshua Dobbs will get the start in the 2024 NFL regular-season finale, coach Kyle Shanahan confirmed on Wednesday.
Dobbs served as the third-string quarterback behind veteran Brandon Allen for the majority of the season, but leapfrogged Allen on the depth chart in recent weeks and now will make his 15th career start on Sunday against Arizona.
