49ers List Brock Purdy as Game-Time Decision After Two Limited Practices

Final clearance will hinge on a pregame evaluation by team doctors.

Overview

  • Brock Purdy practiced Wednesday and Thursday in a limited capacity and said his toe recovery remains day to day ahead of the Cardinals game.
  • Kyle Shanahan called Purdy’s limited work a real good sign and said the quarterback has a chance to play, with medical staff making the final call.
  • Both Purdy and backup Mac Jones addressed reporters this week, an uncommon setup that underscores unresolved starting plans.
  • Jones delivered 279 yards and three touchdowns in the Week 2 win over the Saints, giving the 49ers confidence if Purdy cannot go.
  • Tight end George Kittle is on injured reserve, and wide receiver Jauan Jennings’ availability is uncertain after shoulder issues despite returning to the practice field.
