49ers’ Brock Purdy a ‘Long Shot’ to Play Sunday Due to Toe Injury, Could Miss Multiple Weeks
Brock Purdy faces a turf toe and left-shoulder injury making him a long shot for the Saints game; backup Mac Jones is prepared to start if needed, coach Shanahan said.
- Head coach Kyle Shanahan said Wednesday that quarterback Brock Purdy is a "long shot" to play Sunday at the Caesars Superdome against the New Orleans Saints, adding, "I think it's a long shot."
- During a second-quarter scramble in Seattle, quarterback Brock Purdy injured his left shoulder and sustained a `turf toe` affecting the bottom and side of an unspecified toe in the Week 1 opener.
- In the opener, Quarterback Brock Purdy completed 26 of 35 passes for 277 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions, and the 49ers backed him with a $265 million contract extension including $3 million in incentives raising 2025 earnings to $10.5 million.
- If Purdy can't go Sunday, the 49ers will turn to Mac Jones, former first-round pick, and Shanahan warned Purdy could miss multiple weeks after Wednesday's practice update.
- With injuries piling up, the San Francisco 49ers face mounting troubles after a 6-11 finish last season, and roster limits hinder adding a veteran QB, leaving practice-squad Adrian Martinez as a key depth option.
