Shanahan Says Purdy May Not Be 100% This Season, Reaffirms QB1 Status

Shanahan signals a health-first timeline for Purdy regardless of Mac Jones’ success.

Overview

  • Brock Purdy remains sidelined by turf toe after being listed questionable for Week 9 and then made inactive.
  • Kyle Shanahan said the injury likely will not fully resolve this season and described toe surgery as unlikely.
  • The staff is considering an upcoming stretch of grass games as a more favorable window for Purdy’s return.
  • Mac Jones has started seven games and is 5-2 in those appearances, with San Francisco now 6-3 overall.
  • Shanahan stressed that the timing of Purdy’s return is independent of Jones’ performance, saying, “This is Brock’s team.”
