Brock Purdy’s Toe Soreness Clouds 49ers’ Thursday Trip to Rams

The short week after his return from a two-game absence intensifies the decision.

Overview

  • Kyle Shanahan said Purdy reported renewed soreness in his right big toe Sunday night and will be evaluated Monday, leaving his availability uncertain.
  • In the 26-21 loss to Jacksonville, Purdy threw for 309 yards with two interceptions and a late fumble, and he said he will review his mechanics.
  • If Purdy cannot go Thursday in Los Angeles, Mac Jones is the likely starter, though he has been limited recently by a knee sprain.
  • WR Ricky Pearsall is being checked for a possible minor PCL injury in his right knee and Jauan Jennings has sore ribs, with both statuses to be determined.
  • The 49ers pointed to drops, red-zone struggles, and an 87-yard punt-return touchdown as fixable errors as they prepare on a walkthrough-only schedule.
