Overview

• Purdy did not practice on Tuesday during the 49ers’ lone walk-through of the short week after reporting renewed toe soreness following his Week 4 return.
• General manager John Lynch said Purdy underwent additional tests and called his questionable tag an accurate reflection of his status.
• Shanahan emphasized the decision is about effectiveness and self‑protection rather than pain tolerance, with a call expected close to game time.
• Backup Mac Jones is off the injury report and will start if Purdy is ruled out, while receivers Ricky Pearsall (knee) and Jauan Jennings (ankle, ribs) also missed practice and are in doubt.
• The Rams listed right tackle Rob Havenstein (ankle) and tight end Tyler Higbee (hip) as non‑participants Tuesday, as both 3‑1 teams prepare on a compressed schedule.
