Overview

• Coach Kyle Shanahan said on KNBR that Purdy will not play against the Saints, confirming earlier indications he was a long shot.
• General manager John Lynch described Purdy’s status as week to week after consultations with trainers, team doctors and foot-and-ankle specialist Dr. Robert Anderson.
• NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported Purdy has a variant of turf toe and could miss two to five weeks, with the toe viewed as the greater concern than his non-throwing shoulder.
• Mac Jones will start in New Orleans, and practice-squad quarterback Adrian Martinez will be elevated to serve as his backup.
• The injury compounds early roster strain for San Francisco, which already placed tight end George Kittle on injured reserve and recently worked out veteran QB Mike White to assess depth.
