What happened: Micah Parsons praised Brock Purdy's start for San Francisco, describing his play as extraordinary. San Francisco entered Week 4 of the 2026 regular season at 3-0 despite injuries on both sides of the roster.
Why it matters: Purdy earned an elite tag after his two-week start, putting early momentum behind San Francisco. Continued quarterback stability matters with three wideouts sidelined amid the injury wave.
