Brock Purdy's Toe Soreness Puts 49ers' Thursday Start in Doubt

The team faces a short-week evaluation that will determine the quarterback plan for Thursday in Los Angeles.

Overview

  • Kyle Shanahan said Purdy reported renewed pain in his previously injured toe after the 26-21 loss to the Jaguars and will be re-evaluated, leaving his status uncertain for the Rams.
  • Shanahan cited four turnovers as decisive in the defeat, with Purdy throwing two interceptions and losing a late fumble after passing for 309 yards and two touchdowns.
  • Wide receivers Ricky Pearsall (suspected minor PCL) and Jauan Jennings (ribs) are being assessed, and their availability for Thursday is in question.
  • With the short turnaround, the 49ers plan walkthroughs only and will issue estimated practice participation, with Mac Jones available as the backup option if needed.
  • A social media report said officials apologized to Shanahan for accepting a penalty he intended to decline, an error that did not affect the final outcome.
