49ers' Josh Johnson being evaluated for concussion in NFC Championship Game, Brock Purdy (elbow) back in
San Francisoc 49ers quarterback Josh Johnson is being evaluated for a concussion in the NFC Championship Game against the Philadelphia Eagles.
What It Means:
Purdy was earlier knocked out of the game due to a right elbow injury. However, backup quarterback Josh Johnson is now in the locker room for a possible concussion. It's unclear if Purdy will be able to throw, and there are signs Christian McCaffrey in the Wildcat may be the best course of action for San Francisco.
Before exiting, Johnson had completed 7-of-13 passes for 74 yards. He also had a fumble, posting 1.16 FanDuel points.
