Brock Purdy was back under center for the San Francisco 49ers in Week 4 on a losing effort. However, having him back was a good sign… Until head coach Kyle Shanahan shed some doubts over his status for the Thursday Night Football game against divisional rivals Los Angeles Rams.
Speaking to David Bonilla of 49erswebzone.com, Shanahan said, “I talked to him [Purdy] on the phone last night, and he said it was starting to bother him a little bit last night. But nothing during the game at all.” Purdy suffered a turf toe injury of minor extent, but was still sidelined two weeks.
His return didn’t help the 49ers against the Jacksonville Jaguars as they still lost the game and Purdy had two interceptions. However, he still completed 22 of 38 passes and racked up 309 yards with two touchdowns.
