Overview

• Purdy practiced in a limited capacity on Wednesday and Thursday and said he is happy with his toe progress, framing his availability as a day-to-day, game-time call.
• Shanahan called the limited work a “real good sign” that gives Purdy a chance to play, while emphasizing the team’s medical staff will make the final determination.
• Both Purdy and backup Mac Jones met with reporters, an unusual pairing that underscores the 49ers’ unresolved plan at quarterback heading into the weekend.
• Jones, who threw for 279 yards and three touchdowns in last week’s win over the Saints, said he is preparing as normal and will be ready if his number is called.
• An earlier report projected a two-to-five week absence for Purdy, yet his return to practice has reopened the possibility of an earlier comeback as San Francisco also manages injuries to George Kittle (IR) and Jauan Jennings.
