"Once it was determined Jones was the starter, the 49ers had three options regarding Purdy: 1) Suit him up to be the backup behind Jones; 2) Have Purdy in uniform and declare him the emergency No. 3 quarterback; 3) Have him inactive and out of uniform for the fifth consecutive game and seventh of the season with right turf toe that occurred in Week 1 and was aggravated on Sept. 28 against Jacksonville."
"Purdy practiced all week in a limited fashion, although it's not known how much work he got behind Jones. Asked if Purdy got a lot of starter reps during the week, Shanahan said, I wouldn't say a lot. When Purdy started against Jacksonville, he we was limited in practice Wednesday and Thursday but did all the work on Friday and was deemed ready to play. The 49ers lost 26-21, Purdy threw two interceptions and he hasn't suited up for a game since."
Brock Purdy will be inactive and out of uniform, with Adrian Martinez serving as the backup behind starter Mac Jones. Other inactives include Ricky Pearsall Jr. (knee), Jake Brendel (hamstring), Bryce Huff (hamstring), Jordan James, Marques Sigle and C.J. West. Purdy suffered right turf toe in Week 1 that was aggravated on Sept. 28 against Jacksonville. Once Jones was named starter, the team weighed three options for Purdy's availability. Purdy practiced in a limited fashion and received some reps, but coaches emphasized easing him back rather than committing to full starter work. Week 10 availability is undecided.
