Will Brock Purdy play for the 49ers against the Texans Sunday? San Francisco QB injury report
Here’s the latest on Brock Purdy’s injury ahead of the game against the Texans.
The tension is ramping up for the 49ers ahead of their Week 8 game against the Houston Texans, as fans sweat over the fitness of star quarterback, Brock Purdy.
At present, the east coast side are leading the NFC West with a 5-2 record, thanks to tiebreakers over other teams with the same record.
However, the Texans will present an interesting challenge of their own when they travel to Levi’s Stadium. They sit third in the AFC South but will be no pushovers; having triumphed against the Ravens they recently lost to the Seahawks, and will be looking to make amends.

Will Brock Purdy play in Week 8 against the Texans?
Unfortunately for 49ers fans, Purdy is not expected to play in Week 8 due to his toe injury. While he did show up for practice on Wednesday and Thursday, his participation was limited and it appears his recovery isn’t moving fast enough to be ready for this Sunday.
In his place, veteran quarterback Mac Jones is slated to get the start. Jones has already stepped in before this season and has shown he can manage the offence, completing 67 percent of his passes and guiding the 49ers to a 4-1 record.
Since Brock Purdy became the starting quarterback for the San Francisco 49ers in 2022, the team has experienced a notable improvement in their win-loss record. With Purdy in the side, the 49ers have achieved a 24–14 record as of October 2025. In contrast, without him, the team holds a 9–7 record over the same period.
Despite a disappointing 2024 season marked by injuries and a 6–11 record, Purdy’s individual statistics remained strong, with 3,864 passing yards and 20 touchdowns.
