- Purdy practiced in a limited capacity and split scout-team reps to mimic Matthew Stafford’s tendencies for the defense.
- Shanahan reiterated that players are not cleared until they reach pre-injury running speeds, with WR Ricky Pearsall ruled out again.
- Los Angeles plans to elevate rookie kicker Harrison Mevis and long snapper Jake McQuaide, while San Francisco’s Eddy Piñeiro is 19-for-19 on field goals.
