Purdy Practices in Limited Sessions, 49ers Leave Week 3 QB Decision to Game Time

Team doctors will determine his status close to kickoff.

Overview

  • Brock Purdy practiced on a limited basis for a second straight day and described his recovery as day-to-day, saying he will see how he feels at game time.
  • Kyle Shanahan said the limited work is a good sign that gives Purdy a chance to play, with the medical staff making the final call.
  • Both Purdy and Mac Jones spoke with reporters this week, an uncommon setup that signals the starting job for Sunday is still undecided.
  • If Purdy cannot go against Arizona, Jones is expected to start after leading a Week 2 road win in New Orleans and drawing a solid "B" grade from a local analyst.
  • An earlier report from Ian Rapoport projected a two-to-five week absence for Purdy, though this week's practice participation indicates potential for an earlier return.
