Christian McCaffrey on the play of 49ers QB Brock Purdy: "Vintage Brock, and that's a huge compliment."
November 17, 2025 at 12:49 AM
49ers injury report: K Eddy Piñeiro was not sent out to kick the PAT because he has a hamstring injury.
November 16, 2025 at 11:58 PM
On the 49ers' 288th rushing attempt of the season, they finally have a run of 20 yards. It was Christian McCaffrey with the honors. He now has 81 yards and two TDs on 13 carries, as the 49ers take a 41-16 lead in the fourth quarter.
November 16, 2025 at 11:57 PM
The 49ers have been penalized once for 15 yards. The Cardinals have been flagged 17 times (yes, 17 times) for 130 yards.
November 16, 2025 at 11:46 PM
Deommodore Lenoir intercepts Jacoby Brissett. This is the 49ers' first two-interception game since Week 8 of last season, when Lenoir and Ji'Ayir Brown picked off Dallas' Dak Prescott.
November 16, 2025 at 11:19 PM
Rookie LB Nick Martin is playing defense for the 49ers. Cardinals TE Pharaoh Brown is called for holding him to bring back 60-yard TD run on fourth down. Arizona ends up punting it back to the 49ers.
November 16, 2025 at 10:58 PM
Which, by the way, was Brock Purdy's first career start.
The 49ers take a 25-10 lead into halftime. It was their highest-scoring first half since they scored 28 points on Dec. 11, 2022, vs. Tampa Bay in a 35-7 victory.

49ers injury update: DE Robert Beal is out for the remainder of the game.
November 16, 2025 at 10:31 PM
Cardinals injury report: RB Emari Demercado is questionable to return the game.
November 16, 2025 at 10:14 PM
49ers injury report: LB Tatum Bethune is questionable to return the game.
November 16, 2025 at 10:11 PM
49ers LB Tatum Bethune AND Cardinals Emari Demercado were injured on that play.
November 16, 2025 at 10:00 PM
Renardo Green just gave the Cardinals a first down after the 49ers had a third-down stop. Trey McBride baited Green into an unnecessary roughness penalty. Rookie move by the second-year pro and he gets benched. Darrell Luter is in the game.
November 16, 2025 at 9:58 PM
Christian McCaffrey with a TD rushing and a TD receiving. The 49ers are up 19-7 after another botched extra point.

Eddy Piñeiro is 19-for-19 on FG attempts, but he's just 17 of 21 on PATs.
November 16, 2025 at 9:51 PM
Brock Purdy is, indeed, back. The 49ers are up 13-0 (blocked PAT) after his 30-yard TD pass to George Kittle.
November 16, 2025 at 9:24 PM
Skyy Moore's 98-yard return on the opening kickoff was the 49ers' longest KO return since Ted Ginn's 102-yarder on Sept. 11, 2011, against the Seahawks.
November 16, 2025 at 9:23 PM
Skyy Moore's 98-yard KO return sets up Christian McCaffrey's 1-yard TD run, and just like that the 49ers have a 7-0 lead 16 seconds into the game.

49ers inactives vs. Cardinals in Week 11:
RB Jordan James
WR Jordan Watkins
OL Connor Colby
DL Clelin Ferrell
DL Kevin Givens
CB Eli Apple

49ers WR Kendrick Bourne needs 18 yards receiving to reach for 500 on the season. That would earn him an incentive of $500,000.

49ers status report for Week 11 at Arizona Cardinals:

Questionable
CB Deommodore Lenoir (calf)

Certainly, not insignificant, but that’s it.

Shanahan on Purdy's return to 49ers' lineup: “The way he was Monday, just watching him film with him, the way he was at Wednesday's practice. And really (today) was the best. We were going full speed and everything. So he's good to go.”
