Brock Purdy could be out longer than the San Francisco 49ers initially expected.

The 25-year-old Purdy missed Weeks 2 and 3 with a turf toe injury he suffered in the season opener against the Seattle Seahawks. Mac Jones played well in relief and led the 49ers to victories over the New Orleans Saints and Arizona Cardinals.

Though Brock Purdy returned in Week 4 against the Jacksonville Jaguars (a 26-21 loss), the same toe injury will keep him sidelined for tonight’s prime-time game against the Los Angeles Rams.

Unfortunately, the 49ers will have to prepare for another extended Brock Purdy absence.

Speaking on Prime Video’s “Thursday Night Football” pre-game show, NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport said that Purdy was “not close” to playing against the Rams at SoFi Stadium on a short week.
