2026 Outlook

Starter for the 49ers despite missing eight games in 2025 to turf toe injury. Delivered elite third/fourth-down efficiency (58.3% conversion rate, highest in 35 years per CBS Sports), demonstrating scheme mastery. Playing for Kyle Shanahan system and returning to 32-man healthy roster in 2026 could enhance consistency. Team has significant cap space and may add veteran receivers including Tyreek Hill to bolster WR room. (per Tyreek Hill to the 49ers? San Francisco named a top fit for All-Pro WR) George Kittle back from Achilles tear could be ready for Week 1 if rehab continues at current pace; Purdy expressed confidence in Kittle's recovery trajectory and work ethic. (per 49ers QB Brock Purdy says he's thrilled to play with Mike Evans. 'He's a bro')

OC Klay Kubiak has identified pocket movement as a primary focus area for 2026 improvement. Purdy has a tendency to bail out of pockets too early rather than let plays develop, sometimes missing downfield opportunities due to premature scrambles. Kubiak emphasizes that while Purdy is an athletic QB, Shanahan's offense has more answers that Purdy should utilize, including checkdowns and staying composed in the pocket to find throwing lanes. Improving pocket discipline should unlock higher offensive efficiency. (per Where the 49ers Want Brock Purdy to Be Better in 2026)
