49ers Keep Brock Purdy Limited as Week 9 Decision Nears, Bolster D-Line With Keion White and Clelin Ferrell

Kyle Shanahan says Purdy must show confidence in the toe through practice to be cleared.

Overview

  • Purdy remained a limited participant Wednesday with a turf-toe injury, and the team plans to determine later in the week if he will face the Giants.
  • Shanahan called the toe a sensitive issue and said Purdy will not return until practice reps convince him the toe feels right.
  • Mac Jones, a full participant despite a knee contusion, is prepared to start again and has led San Francisco to four wins in six starts.
  • San Francisco finalized a trade for Keion White and added Clelin Ferrell to the practice squad to reinforce a defensive line thinned by injuries.
  • Kyle Shanahan downplayed trade chatter around receiver Jauan Jennings after the player said he loves being with the team.
