Brock Purdy’s Injury Woes Deepen — 49ers Face QB Uncertainty

Persistent Toe Injury Sidelines Purdy from Practice

San Francisco 49ers starting quarterback Brock Purdy missed Wednesday’s practice as he continues to battle a turf toe injury in his right foot. This marks the third time this season he has been kept off the practice field due to the same ailment.

Coach Kyle Shanahan confirmed that despite the prolonged absence, the team has not planned to place him on Injured Reserve (IR). The organization appears to be holding out hope that he can recover and return without needing to resort to that move.

Mac Jones to Step In — But He’s Also Dealing with Injuries

With Purdy unavailable, Mac Jones has assumed the starting role and has led the team to multiple wins. However, Jones is not out of the woods himself. He was limited in practice due to a left knee injury and a newly reported oblique strain.

Jones expressed optimism about playing, saying he is recovering day-by-day. But with both quarterbacks dealing with injuries, the 49ers’ QB depth is under serious scrutiny.

If both Purdy and Jones are unavailable, Adrian Martinez, recently promoted from the practice squad, would be the next in line to start.

Analysts and insiders are cautious. While Purdy’s absence from practice is a negative indicator, nothing has been ruled definitive yet.

Some reports suggest that Purdy is unlikely to play in Week 6 (vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers).

Still, the 49ers are reportedly optimistic about his long-term role, and they haven’t taken the drastic step of placing him on IR.

The team’s next few days of practice and medical evaluations will be key in determining whether Purdy returns soon or needs more time to heal.
