The San Francisco 49ers have had an up-and-down season thus far. The team sits at a 5-5 record and dropped a close game to the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday, losing with a final 20-17 score.
To make matters worse, 49ers stars Brock Purdy and Nick Bosa are both dealing with injuries. Head coach Kyle Shanahan has now offered an update on both, signaling what their availability will be for Week 12.
Bosa is dealing with both a hip and oblique injury and is going to be evaluated throughout this week. Though Shanahan did not state what Bosa's potential availability means for Week 12, both injuries could lead to him missing some time.
Bosa appeared on the injury report during Week 12 for his hip but was able to suit up for the game against the Seahawks. That could have caused some more damage, as he is now set to be evaluated to determine his playing status for Week 12.

SANTA CLARA, CA - DECEMBER 4: Brock Purdy #13, Nick Bosa #97 and George Kittle #85 of the San Francisco 49ers in the locker room after the game against the Miami Dolphins at Levi's Stadium on December 4, 2022 in Santa Clara, California. The 49ers defeated the Dolphins 33-17. 49ers HC gives update on Brock Purdy and Nick Bosa injuries.
Conversely, Purdy is dealing with shoulder soreness and will be considered "day-to-day." It does sound like Purdy could be dealing with a standard injury, though he will also be evaluated during practice this week.
Losing either Purdy or Bosa in Week 12 will severely impact both the defense and offense. The 49ers went into Sunday's game without George Kittle, which certainly made an impact.
The other piece of good news is Shanahan also stated that Kittle should return to practice this week. Kittle missed Week 11 due to a nagging hamstring injury.
