Overview
- Brock Purdy was listed as limited for Wednesday but participated in what Shanahan called an "aggressive" practice as part of his stepwise return from turf toe.
- Shanahan outlined a target of three aggressive practices this week and said a big step forward would give Purdy a good chance to face the Cardinals in Week 11.
- The coach reiterated the health-first standard, noting Purdy will not be activated unless he can reclaim the starting job and play at full capacity.
- Mac Jones has produced 2,151 yards, 13 touchdowns and a 69.6% completion rate in eight starts (5-3), highlighted by a 33-of-39, 319-yard, three-TD effort in the loss to the Rams.
- Public commentary intensified as Tom Brady and Richard Sherman favored riding the hot hand with Jones, while the 6-4 49ers keep the decision tied to Purdy’s readiness and their playoff push.
