Following a 5-0 start to the season, the San Francisco 49ers have lost two straight games. Can the red and gold get back on track this weekend?

During Friday’s edition of The Carmichael Dave Show with Jason Ross, the guys were joined by Greg Papa, the radio voice of the 49ers, to preview this Sunday’s action between the 49ers and Cincinnati Bengals, discuss the possibility of Brock Purdy clearing concussion protocol by this weekend, and much more.

Plus: If Purdy cannot go, what can fans expect to see from backup quarterback Sam Darnold?
