Joshua Dobbs will use Week 18 start for the 49ers as an 'audition' for free agency
After a year spent as an NFL nomad bouncing around the league, Joshua Dobbs has had a much quieter 2024 season as a backup to quarterback Brock Purdy in San Francisco. Dobbs gets a chance to finish his first season with the 49ers by making a Week 18 start in place of an injured Purdy on Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals in what can serve as a head start to his offseason free agency.
