Quarterback Brock Purdy popped up on the injury report this week after suffering a right shoulder problem during the team’s Week 11 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. More signs emerged on Thursday suggesting the injury could actually cause Purdy to miss time.
Purdy was at least a limited participant in Thursday’s practice, but he did not take part in any of the throwing drills that were open to the media. Perhaps more tellingly, the 49ers pushed Purdy’s traditional weekly news conference back from Thursday to Friday, suggesting the organization genuinely is not sure who will start in Week 12 against the Green Bay Packers.
