Overview
- Coach Kyle Shanahan said Purdy is progressing from his Week 1 turf-toe injury but did not practice Wednesday and has not been considered for Injured Reserve.
- Multiple outlets, including ESPN, report it would be a surprise if Purdy plays at Tampa Bay in Week 6, positioning Mac Jones to start again after a limited listing with knee and oblique issues.
- Top wideout Ricky Pearsall missed practice with a knee injury and Shanahan is not counting on him this week, with Jauan Jennings and Jordan Watkins also sidelined Wednesday.
- Tight end George Kittle remains on IR with only a chance to return next week, while practice windows opened for defensive tackle Kevin Givens and safety Malik Mustapha.
- Tampa Bay is dealing with its own injuries, with running back Bucky Irving expected out this week, Mike Evans described as week-to-week, and starting corner Zyon McCollum spotted in a sling.
