"He'd take a snap, step into a throw, and drag his right toe on an apparently pain-free follow-through during Thursday's warmups. Judging from the media's 30-minute viewing period, plus his toe's confirmed improvement, Purdy is poised to reclaim his 49ers' quarterback throne after a two-game hiatus. It's been good. I really like where I'm at in the progress, healing up, dropping back and throwing, said Purdy, who remains limited in practice. We'll see. I'm taking it day by day still."
"Purdy played through his turf-toe injury in the season-opening win at Seattle, then yielded to Mac Jones as the 49ers eeked out wins at New Orleans and last Sunday against Arizona. It's not a secret. It's been 2 weeks, Purdy added. My toe has healed up and gotten better. Even if the 49ers (3-0) opt to shelve him another week and roll again with Jones, their ever-changing receiving corps is switching up again Sunday against the visiting Jacksonville Jaguars (2-1)."
"Demarcus Robinson got activated to the roster after a three-game suspension, and he joined Ricky Pearsall in leading Thursday's wide receiver drills. That's pertinent on at least four levels: 1.) Robinson very much showed starting-caliber presence throughout training camp, a reflection of his nine seasons and 250 receptions worth of experience (2016-21 Chiefs, 2022 Ravens, 2023-24 Rams). Just having him back out and seeing what he had done at camp, it's the same thing, Purdy said. He's feeling fresh, looks great, has great hands."
Brock Purdy showed pain-free follow-through during warmups and reported marked improvement in a turf-toe injury, positioning himself to potentially resume starting duties. Purdy previously played through the injury in Seattle before Mac Jones started and the team won at New Orleans and against Arizona. Purdy remains limited in practice and may be held out another week, but recovery is progressing day by day. Demarcus Robinson was activated after a three-game suspension and practiced with Ricky Pearsall, who was limited but remains on track; Pearsall ranks fourth in the NFL in yards per catch. Jauan Jennings has not practiced since his Sept. 14 ankle sprain.
