San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan spoke to reporters ahead of Wednesday’s practice and revealed that quarterback Brock Purdy will be a limited participant, signaling continued progress in his recovery from a toe injury.
Purdy was limited in practice last week, but the injury kept him sidelined on Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals, marking his second consecutive missed game.
“He’s better today than he was on Sunday, and hopefully, that’ll keep continuing,” the coach said.
There is optimism that Purdy will suit up this Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars as the 49ers aim to improve their record to 4-0.
Purdy sustained the injury in Week 1 against the Seattle Seahawks, where he completed 26-of-35 passes for 277 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions in his only on-field action this season.
Shanahan shared that the following players will not practice on Wednesday:
That’s several wide receivers missing from Wednesday’s practice. Shanahan hopes that Pearsall can return to practice later in the week.
Shanahan added that the 49ers remain hopeful that Jennings can return to practice this week.
“Similar to last week, he was close to getting in, [but] never was able to make it,” Shanahan said. “He’ll be the same this week.”
The following players will be limited in practice:
The 49ers have been hit hard by injuries this season. Tight end George Kittle was placed on injured reserve with a hamstring injury, while wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk continues his recovery from ACL and MCL injuries sustained last season. Additionally, offensive linemen Ben Bartch and Spencer Burford are on injured reserve.
Adding to the team’s setbacks, the 49ers announced this week that star pass rusher Nick Bosa will miss the remainder of the season after suffering a torn ACL during Sunday’s game against the Cardinals.
