San Francisco 49ers' Brock Purdy Misses Practice Due to Toe Injury
Quarterback Brock Purdy remains sidelined due to a toe injury sustained in Week 1 and aggravated in Week 4, with the team viewing his status as week-to-week, coach said.
- On Wednesday, quarterback Brock Purdy did not practice as the San Francisco 49ers prepared for their Week 6 matchup at Raymond James Stadium, and Kyle Shanahan said the team has not considered injured reserve and described him as progressing.
- After aggravating a Week 1 toe injury during Week 4, Brock Purdy has missed three games and did not travel to last week's game against the Los Angeles Rams.
- With Purdy not practicing and Shanahan saying `He wasn't able to Monday, he's not able to today, so we'll see if there's a turn here on Thursday or Friday, but I'm not counting on it right now`, Adrian Martinez will get more reps with the starters.
- Practice-Window moves mean Malik Mustapha, safety, and Kevin Givens, defensive tackle, have a chance to play against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers earlier this week, adding defensive help amid roster shortages.
- Placing Purdy on injured reserve would force at least four-game absence, a step the team has not taken; Ben Bartch is unlikely to practice next week, and Shanahan said `Hopefully, we'll have a chance at Kittle next week`.
