Joshua Dobbs

Joshua Dobbs completed 3-of-4 passes for 35 yards in the 49ers’ 40-34, Week 17 loss to the Lions, adding seven yards and a touchdown on his lone carry.

Dobbs came on in relief of the injured Brock Purdy with just under a minute left to play in the fourth quarter after Purdy apparently inured his throwing arm on a sack. There wasn’t an update passed from the team on Purdy’s status with the injury occurring so late, but it could be enough for Dobbs to grab a Week 18 start for the 49ers against the Cardinals.
