- Dianna Russini reported Purdy recently worked out and “didn’t feel that great,” tempering hopes for a Week 8 return against the Texans.
- Shanahan told reporters Purdy is a “reach” for this week, signaling the team’s cautious approach to a lingering toe/foot issue.
- Purdy has appeared in only two games this season after injuring his foot in Week 1, briefly returning in Week 4 before a setback.
- Despite limited practices, Purdy was ruled out for Week 7 and will be re-evaluated after midweek sessions that could determine his status.
- Jones has gone 4-1 as the starter, giving San Francisco flexibility not to rush Purdy even as the quarterback’s absence remains frustrating.
