Patriots' Joshua Dobbs: Nabbed by Pats
Joshua Dobbs agreed to a two-year contract with the New England Patriots on Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.Dobbs served as a reserve quarterback for the 49ers in 2024 but got the Week 18 start with Brock Purdy (elbow) sidelined and Brandon Allen already earning a start himself Week 12. Between a pair of appearances, Dobbs completed 32 of 47 passes for 361 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions, rushed nine times for 24 yards and two TDs and fumbled twice (one lost). In stints with five different teams, he's made 15 starts with a 3-12 record, so he brings an experienced hand behind rising second-year QB Drake Maye in New England.

49ers' Joshua Dobbs: Fills box score in losing effort
Joshua Dobbs completed 29 of 43 pass attempts for 326 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions while rushing eight times for 17 yards and a third score while coughing up a fumble in Sunday's 47-24 loss to Arizona.Dobbs showed mixed results in his first official start with San Francisco after finishing last week's contest in place of Brock Purdy (elbow). The Passtronaut took DFS players on a wild ride that resulted in gaudy fantasy totals despite committing three turnovers against Arizona. The journeyman backup likely cemented a similar role next season, whether he returns to the San Francisco 49ers or latches on with another club.

49ers' Joshua Dobbs: Slated to start in Week 18
Head coach Kyle Shanahan said Wednesday that Joshua Dobbs will start Sunday's game at Arizona, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.Dobbs served as the San Francisco 49ers' backup quarterback over Brandon Allen in Monday's 40-34 loss to the Lions, and the former saw the field late in the fourth quarter when Brock Purdy exited with an elbow injury. Dobbs proceeded to complete three of four passes for 35 yards and ran for a seven-yard touchdown on his five snaps. Purdy since has been diagnosed with a contusion and nerve inflammation in his throwing elbow, which is expected to sideline him for Week 18 action. Dobbs thus is in line for his first start of the campaign as the 49ers close out the season.

49ers' Joshua Dobbs: Relieves Purdy, could start Week 18
Joshua Dobbs took the field for the San Francisco 49ers' final five offensive snaps of Monday's 40-34 loss to the Lions and completed three of four pass attempts for 35 yards while rushing for a seven-yard touchdown.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.
