49ers Ramp Up Brock Purdy’s First-Team Reps, Week 10 Status Still Unclear

Kyle Shanahan expects the turf-toe to linger this season, affirming Purdy’s status as the starter when healthy.

Overview

  • Brock Purdy was limited in Wednesday’s practice but is set to receive increased first-team work as the team "pushes it each week," per Shanahan.
  • A decision on Purdy’s availability for Sunday’s home game against the Rams will be made later in the week.
  • Shanahan reiterated that Mac Jones’ strong play does not influence the timeline, saying, "This is Brock’s team."
  • Toe surgery is considered unlikely, and the staff is taking a cautious, week-to-week ramp given the injury’s tendency to persist.
  • Purdy has missed seven of nine games; Jones is 5-2 as the starter with a 67.2% completion rate and 10 touchdowns for the 6-3 49ers.
