Now we understand why Shanahan was not more optimistic this week. Despite being somewhat trivial in the name, it is known that turf toe is annoying and incredibly restrictive injuries that require a holiday to heal properly. If it was ever time to allow Purdy to become healthy, then it is close to the beginning of the season.
Mac Jones is expected to resign Purdy and will bring four years of experience NFL – including the 2024 season spent as a copy called for 10 games in Jacksonville – to 49ers.
San Francisco will already play the week 2 games without a battle for George Kittle, who suffered injuries to the second quarter of the game on Sunday and hit the injured reserves this week. With a wider window for a possible return, it is fair to expect Purdy to remain in the active roster when he heals, although the 49ers will probably need to promote Adrian Martinez from the training squad to serve as a copy of Jones on Sunday.
