Joshua Dobbs has been named the starting quarterback for the San Francisco 49ers in their season finale against the Arizona Cardinals, stepping in for the injured Brock Purdy. Coach Kyle Shanahan made the announcement, citing Dobbs' mobility as a key factor given the team's struggling offensive line, which will feature several backup players.

Despite the 49ers' disappointing 6-10 season, Dobbs' experience, having started games for both the Arizona Cardinals and Minnesota Vikings, gives the team hope. His career stats include a passer rating of 77.5 and a solid rushing ability, which could be crucial in the upcoming game.

The Miami Dolphins will be without wide receiver Jaylen Waddle for their upcoming game against the San Francisco 49ers due to a knee injury. Fellow receiver Dee Eskridge will also miss the game, while starting tackles Terron Armstead and Kendall Lamm return to the lineup after being inactive last week.

On the other hand, the 49ers will have key defensive players Nick Bosa and Dre Greenlaw active, despite some notable absences including tackle Trent Williams and running back Isaac Guerendo.
