Overview
- Purdy was limited again Thursday but handled a larger practice load, and the staff plans to set the Week 10 quarterback plan after Friday's session.
- Shanahan said Purdy is "definitely getting closer" and expressed confidence the quarterback will play at some point this season.
- Until medical clearance arrives, Mac Jones remains the starter, a stance reiterated by both Shanahan and general manager John Lynch.
- Lynch said Brandon Aiyuk’s recovery is progressing and the team is close to opening his practice window following last year’s major knee injury.
- Ricky Pearsall did not practice Thursday as his knee issue continues, and the club noted additional injury-report changes while signing Andrew Farmer II to the practice squad and releasing Stone Blanton.
