San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy was limited with the right shoulder injury that sidelined him last week and there is growing concern about the long-term status of left tackle Trent Williams. Wednesday's practice was not the start to the NFL workweek head coach Kyle Shanahan had hoped after Purdy was unable to bounce back from a shoulder injury in Week 11. Brandon Allen started at Green Bay and the 49ers (5-6) lost 38-10 with the backup-turned-starter committing three turnovers. Williams was reportedly spotted in the locker room with a knee scooter and is experiencing pain walking. He played through an ankle injury against the Seattle Seahawks Nov. 17. Defensive end Nick Bosa (hip, oblique) also missed practice Wednesday, leaving the 49ers to spend the holiday plotting to play the Buffalo Bills (9-2) without the three Pro Bowlers again. "I don't know anyone who gets Thanksgiving off unless maybe you have a Monday night game. You just start a lot earlier and get the players out," Shanahan said. "We cram everything in so the players get out, tries to be home with the family by 5. I usually get home by 7 and they're all mad at me, then get back to red-zone (installation)." The 49ers are in danger of a three-game losing streak for the first time since Oct. 2021. Injuries have been a common thread since September when running back Christian McCaffrey was a surprise scratch with an Achilles injury for the opener. Wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk (ACL) is out for the season at a position dinged from top to bottom. Star linebacker Fred Warner also is ailing and said Wednesday that he fractured a bone in his ankle on Sept. 29 against the New England Patriots. The game against the Bills will mark his eighth straight game playing with the injury. "It's something I deal with every game," Warner said. "I get on that table before every game and get it shot up every single game just to be able to roll. But it's not an excuse. It's just what it is. That's the NFL. You're not going to be healthy. You've got to go out there, you've got to find ways to execute, to play at a high level and to win every single week." Shanahan wasn't interested in injury talk. He said the 49ers have not played well in the past two weeks, and puts part of his focus on getting more out of the running game with snow in the forecast on Sunday night. He's not in agreement with pundits who doubt McCaffrey's ability early into his return from injured reserve, with a per-carry average of 3.5 yards compared to 5.4 in 2023. "The speculation on Christian is a little unfair to him," Shanahan said. "Christian is playing very well. He's playing his ass off. To think a guy who misses the entire offseason is going to come back and be the exact same the day he comes back would be unfair to any player in the world." San Francisco opened the 21-day practice window for linebacker Dre Greenlaw, who tore his Achilles in the Super Bowl in February. His return date is unclear. --Field Level MediaAs the investigation into Mr. Zhang's corrupt activities continues, the authorities have pledged to uncover the full extent of his crimes and ensure that justice is served.

The Las Vegas Raiders’ win on Sunday may have ruined their chances at the top pick in the NFL Draft next spring. The Raiders beat the Jacksonville Jaguars 19-14 on Sunday, which gave them their third victory of the year and snapped a 10-game losing skid. In turn, to No. 6. Heading into Week 17 of the regular season, the New York Giants have sole possession of the top pick in the draft. Though that win left plenty of Raiders fans upset, head coach Antonio Pierce insists he doesn’t care about the team's draft pick when games are on the line. "We don't do this to lose," Pierce said Monday, . "We don't do this for anybody's fantasy football team. We don't do this for anybody's draft projections. None of that s**t matters to us. The only thing that matters is winning, and that's all we want to do." While it undoubtedly takes more than a good first draft pick to turn a franchise around, the No. 1 pick could do a lot on that front for the Raiders. had Miami quarterback Cam Ward and Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders as two of their top three picks in the upcoming draft, and Heisman winner Travis Hunter between them. Either quarterback would be great options for the Raiders, who have bounced between Aidan O’Connell, Gardner Minshew and Desmond Ridder at the position amid their struggles and various injuries. The last time the Raiders had the No. 1 overall pick was in 2007, when they took quarterback JaMarcus Russell. He was just the third quarterback the team has selected in the first round of the draft since 1970. After the Giants, the New England Patriots, Jaguars, Cleveland Browns and Tennessee Titans are slated to pick before the Raiders in the draft if the season were to end now. The Raiders will close out their season with games against the New Orleans Saints and Los Angeles Chargers. Even if they lose out, it would take help from the Giants and others for the Raiders to climb back up to No. 1. While a top pick may mean that he loses his job, O’Connell is simply keeping his head down. “I don’t read anything, so I don’t really hear it,” he said on Sunday. “Ignorance is definitely bliss, and that’s how I’m rolling.”
