49ers QB Brock Purdy (shoulder) remains uncertain for Sunday night's game vs. the Bills, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Purdy was "very limited" in Wednesday's practice, Rapoport adds. "Probably needs to improve just a little bit to be able to get on the field" against the Bills. QB Brandon Allen mustered just 199 passing yards and one TD on 6.9 yards per attempt last week and would be a big downgrade for San Francisco's offense if he starts again.
49ers QB Brock Purdy (right shoulder) got in a limited practice on Wednesday. We'll see how he progresses throughout the week, leading up to Sunday night's game vs. the Bills. But Purdy won't be a recommended QB1 play coming off the shoulder injury against the No. 9 QB defense.
49ers QB Brock Purdy (shoulder) did some "light throwing" on Monday and felt good, HC Kyle Shanahan said. “We didn’t push him that hard,” Shanahan added. “But he did some light throwing, which was a good sign. We’ll rest him tomorrow and see how he feels as the week goes.” Two MRIs on Purdy's throwing shoulder last week -- one on Monday, one on Thursday -- revealed no structural damage. Purdy seemingly has a chance to return for Sunday night's game vs. the Bills, but we'll keep you updated on his progress throughout the week. Shanahan said QB Brandon Allen would get another start in Buffalo if Purdy is out.
ESPN's Adam Schefter writes that 49ers QB Brock Purdy (shoulder) "should" be able to play against the Bills next Sunday night. "Then again, they also thought he would be able to start today at Green Bay before he couldn’t," Schefter adds. "Still, for the time being, there does not seem to be a high level of concern." This seems like a situation where the team truly doesn't know how Purdy's injured right shoulder will progress. We'll keep you updated on his status throughout next week.
49ers HC Kyle Shanahan admitted Friday that QB Brock Purdy (shoulder) is "up in the air" for Week 13. "I don't want to say there's long-term concern," Shanahan said. "We thought he just needed some rest. Really weren't concerned about him not being good this week, but when he started up Thursday, it surprised him, surprised us how it felt, so we had to shut him down." GM John Lynch said Friday morning that Purdy's Monday MRI didn't reveal anything concerning, but it doesn't seem like Purdy was close to being able to play against Green Bay on Sunday. We'll keep you updated on his status next week.
49ers QB Brock Purdy (shoulder) is out for Sunday's game vs. the Packers. His injured right shoulder evidently didn't progress throughout the week as the team had hoped. GM John Lynch said Friday that an MRI on the shoulder didn't show anything concerning, so we're not expecting this to be a long-term absence. But Purdy's absence this weekend leaves QB Brandon Allen as San Francisco's expected starter. Allen has been with the 'Niners since May 2023 but has not attempted a regular-season pass for them. He completed just 57% of his passes at 6.1 yards per attempt in limited action for the Broncos and Bengals from 2019-2022. Allen is clearly a significant downgrade for all San Francisco pass catchers. Expect the team to lean heavily on RB Christian McCaffrey on Sunday.
49ers GM John Lynch said Friday morning that QB Brock Purdy had an MRI on his right shoulder. "Feel good about where it is from that standpoint," Lynch said. But he stopped short of saying that Purdy will play vs. the Packers this weekend. "Brock will show up here today, see where he goes from practice, go forth accordingly," Lynch said. He added that QB Brandon Allen would get the start if Purdy is out but that QB Josh Dobbs would also "be ready." We'll update Purdy's status again this afternoon.
49ers QB Brock Purdy (shoulder) was officially limited again in Thursday's practice. According to insider Grant Cohn, Purdy tried to warm up at the start of practice but was clearly uncomfortable and then headed inside with trainers. "He was still limited today," HC Kyle Shanahan said afterward. "He didn't do as much yesterday but did a little bit more today. He went out there and did a little bit then went back in about halfway through and rested up. Hopefully it will be feeling great on Sunday." We're certainly more worried about Purdy's Week 12 status now than we were at this point yesterday. We'll update the situation again on Friday. QB Brandon Allen would likely get the start vs. the Packers this weekend if Purdy is out.
