49ers Increase Brock Purdy’s First-Team Reps as Week 10 Decision Looms

Shanahan plans a week-to-week evaluation with a call on Purdy’s status for the Rams due later this week.

Overview

  • Purdy was limited in Wednesday’s practice for a 10th straight session as he works back from turf toe aggravated in Week 4.
  • Shanahan said Purdy’s practice workload will rise again this week, with availability to be determined closer to game day.
  • The coach reaffirmed that “this is Brock’s team” once he can play like himself, noting toe surgery remains unlikely.
  • Mac Jones has steadied the offense at 5–2 as the starter, including 235 yards and two touchdowns vs. the Giants, and practiced fully Wednesday.
  • WR Ricky Pearsall remained out with a knee injury, DE Bryce Huff returned in a limited capacity, and G Ben Bartch was a full participant.
