49ers Issue Week 4 Health Update: Purdy Limited, Pearsall Optimistic After Knee Soreness

San Francisco prioritizes recovery to safeguard momentum entering Week 4.

Overview

  • Brock Purdy returned as a limited participant as he progresses from a toe injury, with Kyle Shanahan saying he is doing better than on Sunday and remains under evaluation for Jacksonville.
  • Ricky Pearsall missed Wednesday’s session with knee soreness but said he would play if there were a game today and expects to practice later this week after a precautionary day off.
  • Mac Jones was listed as limited with a left knee sprain as the staff manages quarterback reps, and practice-squad passer Adrian Martinez could see increased first-team work if needed.
  • Nick Bosa was confirmed out for the season with a torn ACL, and the team promoted defensive end Robert Beal Jr. to the 53-man roster to help bolster the edge rotation.
  • Demarcus Robinson returned from a three-game suspension and is available this week as multiple receivers recover, with the injury report also listing Jauan Jennings and Jordan Watkins as not practicing and veteran rest days for Trent Williams and Christian McCaffrey.
