49ers QB Joshua Dobbs will start finale in place of injured Brock Purdy

To start in Week 18 Coach Kyle Shanahan said Wednesday that Dobbs will start Sunday's game at Arizona, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Dobbs served as the 49ers' backup QB over Brandon Allen on Monday against the Lions, and the former saw the field late when Brock Purdy exited with an apparent elbow injury. Dobbs proceeded to complete three of four passes for 35 yards and tally a seven-yard TD run in limited action. Purdy since has been diagnosed with a contusion and nerve inflammation in his right throwing elbow, which is expected to sideline him for Week 18 action. Dobbs thus is in line for his first start of the campaign this weekend.

Impact Made active over Brandon Allen as the 49ers' No. 2 quarterback for Week 17, Dobbs was thrust into action with 1:45 remaining in the fourth quarter, when starter Brock Purdy was forced out of the game with an elbow injury. Dobbs proceeded to finish out the drive with a touchdown run, but the 49ers' comeback bid ended when the Lions recovered the ensuing onside kick. Per Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area, head coach Kyle Shanahan said Tuesday that Purdy will likely be held out for Sunday's season finale in Arizona after an MRI revealed a contusion and nerve inflammation to his throwing elbow, but Shanahan was not willing to commit to whether Dobbs or Allen would draw the starting nod for Week 18. Shanahan told Maiocco that Dobbs' scrambling ability was a primary factor in the decision to keep him active ahead of Allen against the Lions, but Dobbs has otherwise been behind Allen on the depth chart all season.
