Everything is set to see which are the two teams that will fight for the Super Bowl LVII. In the NFC Championship game, the San Francisco 49ers will visit the Philadelphia Eagles, but the ones from California have a huge concern for this match that may decrease their odds.
The 49ers went through a roller coaster this 2022 season. They lost Trey Lance and Jimmy Garoppolo due to injuries and their season seemed to be over, but then Brock Purdy took control and heâs 7-0 as a starting quarterback.
But for the NFC Championship game, things may change again to bad for the 49ers. San Francisco now have a huge concern for this very important match that worries Kyle Shanahan a lot.
49ers may face the Eagles without being in their best shape possible
One of the most important games for the 49ers is here. San Francisco will play for the NFC Championship against the Eagles this Sunday, but Wednesdayâs practice was not the best for the NFC West squad.
Kyle Shanahan, the teamâs head coach, revealed they couldnât use four of their top players in todayâs practice: receiver Deebo Samuel(ankle), running backs Christian McCaffrey (bruised calf)and Elijah Mitchell (groin), and quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo(foot).
The first three players had activity in the Divisional round against the Cowboys, while Jimmy Garoppolo is still trying to recover and be available for the Super Bowl LVII in case they defeat the Eagles.
As for Samuelâs injury, it was a huge surprise for everybody as he hasnât missed a practice since he returned for Week 18.âItâs been there for a little bit,â Shanahan said of Deeboâs ankle problem. âI think heâll be all right, but it concerned us enough for him to not let him go today.â
