Overview

  • General manager John Lynch said Purdy’s workload is increasing in practice and that the team will evaluate his availability at the end of the week.
  • The Wednesday injury report listed Purdy as limited again, leaving his status for the Rams undecided as reports suggest he may need a full practice before returning.
  • Head coach Kyle Shanahan said Purdy likely will not be 100% at any point this season but added he does not believe surgery is necessary.
  • Rams consultant Dr. Kenneth Jung said Purdy can play with a plate and modified cleat once enough natural tissue healing occurs, noting he used such support in his brief Jacksonville return.
  • Mac Jones’ solid run as the starter has helped the 49ers stay in contention, fueling media debate over a quarterback competition even as reporting indicates Purdy remains the long‑term QB when healthy.
