Overview

  • Purdy remained limited in Thursday’s practice, with Shanahan set to determine his Week 10 availability after Friday’s session.
  • Mac Jones has gone 5-2 as the fill-in starter, throwing for 235 yards and two touchdowns in last week’s win over the Giants after a 342-yard, two-touchdown outing in the Week 5 win at the Rams.
  • GM John Lynch said Brandon Aiyuk’s knee rehab is progressing and the team is close to opening his practice window.
  • San Francisco continues to navigate season-ending losses to Nick Bosa, Fred Warner and Mykel Williams, adding Keion White and Clelin Ferrell for depth as White now manages a groin issue.
  • The Rams enter 6-2 with Matthew Stafford leading the NFL with 21 touchdown passes, Puka Nacua practicing fully, and special teams changes that include kicker Harrison Mevis and long snapper Jake McQuaide.
