Overview
- Brock Purdy practiced fully on Thursday and Friday with a toe designation, and Kyle Shanahan said he felt great after his Week 11 return and through this week.
- Ricky Pearsall is also a full participant after his PCL/knee injury and logged 41 snaps in his first game back despite limited production.
- General manager John Lynch said Purdy looked healthy and reaffirmed organizational confidence, while also touting Pearsall’s ability to add a downfield element that can open the offense.
- Friday’s report listed DE Robert Beal Jr. (concussion protocol), LB Tatum Bethune (ankle) and K Eddy Piñeiro (hamstring) as non-participants, with veterans Christian McCaffrey and Trent Williams back from rest.
- Purdy’s Week 11 start produced 200 yards and three touchdowns on 73.1% passing in a 41–22 win, though some outside voices, including Steve Young, noted he may still protect the toe and limit mobility.
