Shanahan Says Brock Purdy Has Chance for Week 3 as 49ers Go Week-to-Week

The team is evaluating his toe daily with no firm timetable for a return.

Overview

  • Kyle Shanahan said Brock Purdy has a chance to face the Cardinals in Week 3, noting the toe injury will be assessed day to day.
  • General manager John Lynch reiterated the club is treating Purdy’s recovery as week to week with no set timeline, and any practice work would be a positive indicator.
  • Outside reporting remains split on the absence length, with Ian Rapoport citing two to five weeks, Adam Schefter downplaying Week 3 odds, and Jay Glazer suggesting a shorter window.
  • In Purdy’s Week 2 absence, Mac Jones went 26-of-39 for 279 yards and three touchdowns in a 26-21 win over the Saints.
  • San Francisco is juggling other health issues, including George Kittle’s placement on injured reserve, as it prepares to host Arizona at Levi’s Stadium.
