Purdy (shoulder) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Packers, but the 49ers believe that he'll be able to return to action in their Week 13 matchup with the Bills on Dec. 1, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. Schefter acknowledges that despite the 49ers' optimism, a Week 13 return shouldn't be considered a lock for Purdy, whom the team initially thought would be able to play through a sore right shoulder this Sunday in Green Bay. While a recent MRI revealed nothing overly concerning with Purdy's shoulder, the quarterback exited early during practice Thursday and then didn't participate at all in Friday's session before being ruled out for Sunday's contest. As such, Purdy will likely need to demonstrate more progress during the team's Week 13 practices before a decision on his availability for the game in Buffalo is made. The 49ers will turn to Brandon Allen to make his first start since 2021 in place of Purdy against the Packers.

Purdy (shoulder) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Packers, but the 49ers believe that he'll be able to return to action in their Week 13 matchup with the Bills on Dec. 1, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. Schefter acknowledges that despite the 49ers' optimism, a Week 13 return shouldn't be considered a lock for Purdy, whom the team initially thought would be able to play through a sore right shoulder this Sunday in Green Bay. While a recent MRI revealed nothing overly concerning with Purdy's shoulder, the quarterback exited early during practice Thursday and then didn't participate at all in Friday's session before being ruled out for Sunday's contest. As such, Purdy will likely need to demonstrate more progress during the team's Week 13 practices before a decision on his availability for the game in Buffalo is made. The 49ers will turn to Brandon Allen to make his first start since 2021 in place of Purdy against the Packers.
Purdy (shoulder) has been ruled out for Sunday's game at Green Bay, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports. Coach Kyle Shanahan announced Friday that Brandon Allen will be the starting quarterback for Week 12. GM John Lynch downplayed Purdy's quick departure from Thursday's practice, but Shanahan acknowledged Friday afternoon that things didn't go well during the session, noting that the level of pain in Purdy's right shoulder surprised both team and player (per David Lombardi of SFStandard.com). Shanahan hasn't commented on expectations for Purdy beyond this weekend, with the next chance to play being a Week 13 contest at Buffalo on Sunday, Dec. 1.
Purdy (shoulder) isn't participating at the start of practice Friday afternoon, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports. Purdy was very limited Wednesday, threw only a few passes Thursday and may be missing practice Friday. The 49ers seem to be hoping rest will do the trick, but GM John Lynch acknowledged to Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News on Friday morning that the quarterback's Week 12 status is "tenuous" even after MRI results suggested he doesn't have a serious injury. Purdy injured his throwing shoulder during Sunday's loss to the Seahawks and now seems to be dealing with considerable soreness/discomfort.
GM John Lynch said Friday morning that the 49ers feel good about Purdy's right shoulder after seeing results from an MRI, but Lynch acknowledged the quarterback's status is "tenuous" for Sunday at Green Bay, Cam Inman of the San Jose Mercury News reports. In other words, the 49ers are confident Purdy doesn't have a long-term injury but aren't sure he'll be able to play this week. Coach Kyle Shanahan said Thursday that he was "hopeful" the QB would play, following Purdy doing a bit more Thursday than he did Wednesday. He didn't throw many passes Thursday before going inside to do rehab work, with Lynch telling reporters afterward that Purdy's light workload was planned all along (rather than being a response to pain/discomfort). QB Brandon Allen is expected to start Sunday's game at Green Bay if Purdy doesn't play.
Coach Kyle Shanahan told KNBR that Purdy practiced "a little more" Thursday than he did Wednesday and that he is "hopeful" the quarterback will be available Sunday in Green Bay. After not attempting any passes at Wednesday's session due to a sore right shoulder, Purdy was spotted throwing during warmups Thursday before leaving the field at the start of the third period, according to David Lombardi of SFStandard.com. Purdy's ensuing listed on the 49ers' injury report remained limited, per Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com. In addition to the capped activity, Purdy didn't speak to the media Thursday like he normally would, according to Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle. Purdy seems destined to be listed as questionable heading into the weekend, which will become known when San Francisco posts its final practice report of the week Friday. Brandon Allen is the No. 2 QB on the team's active roster.
The 49ers announced Purdy won't speak with the media Thursday as he instead received treatment on his sore right shoulder, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports. Purdy typically meets with members of the media after the second practice of every week, but at Thursday's session he threw only during warmups -- which is more than he did Wednesday -- before leaving the field at the beginning of the third period, per David Lombardi of SFStandard.com. Purdy proceeded to go down as a limited participant for a second day in a row, according to Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com. If Purdy isn't able to suit up Sunday at Green Bay, Brandon Allen would be under center for the 49ers in Week 12.
Coach Kyle Shanahan said Purdy (shoulder) will be limited at Wednesday's practice, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports. Shanahan revealed Monday that Purdy emerged from the 49ers' Week 11 loss to the Seahawks with soreness in his right shoulder and was considered day-to-day. On Wednesday, Shanahan told David Lombardi of SFStandard.com that he isn't too concerned about the quarterback's availability for Sunday's visit to the Packers. Ultimately, Purdy's activity level Thursday and Friday may determine whether or not he heads into the weekend with a designation for that contest.
Coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday that Purdy is day-to-day due to a sore right shoulder, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports. Purdy had a season-low 159 yards on 21-for-28 passing during Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Seahawks, tossing a touchdown to WR Jauan Jennings but also throwing his eighth interception of the season. A health concern may now result in some practice limitations when the 49ers begin Week 12 prep Wednesday, but Shanahan calling him day-to-day indicates Purdy likely will be good to go this coming Sunday at Green Bay.
Purdy completed 21 of 28 pass attempts for 159 yards, one touchdown and one interception while rushing five times for 40 yards and another touchdown in Sunday's 20-17 loss to Seattle. Purdy did everything in his power to lift a shorthanded 49ers offense to victory with his arm and ability as a rusher. San Francisco's franchise quarterback fell short in his efforts, but fantasy managers benefited from his fourth rushing touchdown over a four-game span. Purdy's lone blemish Sunday was an interception that was deflected on an incredible leaping effort by Seattle corner Devon Witherspoon. The 24-year-old Purdy and the 49ers will have to hit the road following a tough loss to face the Packers in Lambeau next Sunday.
