We have a long week. I love that we got three practices in a row for ourselves. Then we\u2019ll take a day off and get ready for the Chargers, but we\u2019ll see how this week goes with Brock [Purdy] and with the rest of our starters. I would love the guys to play, but I just have to measure it out and see how this week goes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Reading between the lines, it sounds as if \u2014 providing he is happy with the work they get in this coming week \u2014 Shanahan won\u2019t risk playing Purdy and the starters in another meaningless game.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">And, after seeing right guard Dominick Puni sustain what the 49ers believe to be a PCL injury that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ninersnation.com\/san-francisco-49ers-injuries\/149135\/dominick-puni-has-been-ruled-out-with-a-knee-injury-2-other-rbs-go-down\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">could keep him out a few weeks<\/a>, that would probably be the right decision.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Purdy was, for the most part, on point in his cameo against the Raiders, demonstrating an extremely strong connection with Ricky Pearsall. His worst throw came in the red zone, as a slightly off-target pass to Demarcus Robinson bounced off the receiver\u2019s hands.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">In short, Purdy looked ready for the season. He did not look like a quarterback who needed extra seasoning ahead of the Week 1 kickoff. As a result, we might not see Purdy again until the 49ers attempt to continue their recent run of dominance in Seattle.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Brock Purdy played only one series of the 49ers\u2019 preseason win over the Las Vegas Raiders, and that&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":295577,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2080],"tags":[220,7,6,1161,252,1137,23287,2624,2623],"class_list":{"0":"post-295576","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-san-francisco-49ers","8":"tag-49ers","9":"tag-football","10":"tag-nfl","11":"tag-san-francisco","12":"tag-san-francisco-49ers","13":"tag-san-francisco-49ers-news","14":"tag-san-francisco-49ers-preseason","15":"tag-sanfrancisco","16":"tag-sanfrancisco49ers"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/115044605392798774","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/295576","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=295576"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/295576\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/295577"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=295576"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=295576"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=295576"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
