Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:02:03 GMT

SANTA CLARA — Quarterback Brock Purdy is in the NFL’s concussion protocol, after reporting symptoms on the 49ers’ flight home from Monday night’s loss at Minnesota.Purdy is allowed to partake in Wednesday’s walk-through practice but not in the afternoon session against the defense, which also will be held at a lighter tempo with no pads, coach Kyle Shanahan said.Asked if Purdy can get medically cleared for Sunday’s home game against the Bengals, Shanahan said: “He does have enough time, he just has to go through the process.”Purdy played the entirety of the 22-17 defeat, and Shanahan said it’s possible the concussion is traced to a hit on a third-and-1 sneak that was stopped for no gain. Purdy converted on a fourth-and-1 dive, then threw an intercpetion with 5:30 remaining.Shanahan said there were no indications during the game — such as sideline talks with quarterbacks coach Brian Griese — nor immediately afterward i...

SAN JOSE — Houses will be built on a San Jose flea market site after coronavirus-linked economic upheavals prodded developers to ditch the concept of a huge tech office campus on the property, new city plans show.At one point, 1.5 million to 2.3 million square feet of office space — enough to accommodate 7,500 to 11,500 workers — had been planned on the flea market site at 1590 Berryessa Road in San Jose. The office park proposal had been approved by San Jose city officials.Instead of offices, a huge mixed-use housing development with well over 900 homes, along with retail, an urban market and plaza, and open spaces would be built on the property near the Berryessa BART station in San Jose under the new plans.This means the project planners have ditched the concept of a vast office park geared towards big tech companies.The reason for the dramatic shift: the current economic conditions in the wake of the business shutdowns ushered in by the coronavirus outbreak....

BERKELEY — Another possible “last time” awaits the Cal football team Saturday afternoon when century-old rival USC visits Memorial Stadium in the final matchup before the programs head off to new conference addresses next season.Dating to 1912, this will be the 110th meeting between the Bears (3-4, 1-3 Pac-12) and Trojans (6-2, 4-1), who have slid to No. 24 in the latest AP Top-25 after back-to-back losses to Notre Dame and Utah.This could be the last meeting in quite some time between Cal and USC, headed to the ACC and Big Ten, respectively.“It’s really sad, you know, and kind of shameful, the way this whole thing went down,” Wilcox said of the dissolution of the Pac-12, whose members will play in four different conferences beginning next fall.Wilcox is focused this week on the Trojans as the Bears try to end a two-game skid and avoid a 14th consecutive losing conference season — their seventh under Wilcox’s watch.
