Team news: San Francisco 49ers | Page 16

49ers quarterback Brock Purdy did some light throwing without issue Monday, coach Kyle Shanahan said.

Purdy, who missed Sunday’s game with right shoulder soreness, will rest Tuesday.

“We’ll see how it feels on Wednesday,” Shanahan said, via KNBR. “Hopefully, it responds better this week than it did last week with the rest.”

Purdy appeared to injure the shoulder when his hand hit the arm of Seahawks cornerback Devon Witherspoon as he released a pass early in the fourth quarter in Week 11, the story said. The story added the 49ers, though, don’t know specifically when Purdy injured it as he not miss time in that game with the injury.
An MRI showed no damage but after experiencing soreness Purdy got a second MRI last week. The Niners will need Purdy in Week 13 when they travel to the Bills in a Sunday night game. Those counting on Purdy may need to have a backup plan in place this week.

Jaguars HC Doug Pederson said that QB Trevor Lawrence will practice today.

The team will then see where he's at as far as his status for Week 13 goes. The Jags host the Texans in the early window of Sunday's action. The Jaguars are just 2-9 this season so it remains to be seen if they feel the need to get Lawrence back on the field sooner vs. later, or even at all.

Brock Purdy is NOT practicing as 49ers final session underway in rain before flight to Green Bay.

Other 49ers beat reporters had mentioned that Purdy "shut himself down" "mid-practice" on Thursday, which certainly can't be a good sign. All skill position players would take a step down if either Allen or Dobbs ends up playing this weekend, and either would be a QB streaming option for Superflex leagues.

Fantastic news for fantasy managers hanging on to Mike Evans: he should be considered a WR1 option immediately.

“I will be playing on Sunday. Very excited, can’t pass up playing the Packers. I will be out there for sure.”

George Kittle says he’s good to go for Sunday

Related Players: Eric Saubert

Kittle returns to a great matchup against a Packers defense that ranks 26th in TE aFPA. He should be fired up as a high-end TE1 once again.

Sources: Bucs WR Mike Evans, who has been out since Week 7 with a hamstring injury, is back at practice and is planning to play on Sunday vs the Giants.

A huge boost for Baker Mayfield.

Fantastic news for fantasy managers hanging on to Evans: he should be considered a WR1 option immediately.

Shanahan said George Kittle was “close” to playing against Seattle and should be able to practice Wednesday.

It's at least a good sign Kittle is expected to practice Wednesday. The hope is he will be ready to go in Week 12. The 49ers play at the Packers, and it's in the later Sunday window so owners will certainly want to pay attention to what kind of work Kittle can get in this week at practice.

49ers quarterback Brock Purdy injured his shoulder in the 20-17 loss to the Seahawks on Sunday.

Coach Kyle Shanahan told beat reporters that Purdy is day-to-day with shoulder soreness.

The 49ers will release their first practice report Wednesday so owners will want to keep a close look as the week progresses. Purdy rushed for 40 yards and a diving touchdown on five carries, and he took two sacks and four additional hits in the pocket, the story pointed out. The Niners play in the later window on Sunday at Green Bay.

Bucs wide receiver Mike Evans takes the field this morning for a bonus practice.

Laine reported Evans said he could have pushed to try and play in Week 10 against the 49ers but opted to take the extra time. The Bucs had a bye in Week 11 and Evans said that Week 12 after the bye has always been his target for a return. Evans will be a welcomed addition to the offense as the team sits at 4-6, trailing the first place Falcons who are 6-5. The return of Evans will push the rest of the WRs down the depth chart, likely leaving McMillan and Shepard as the rest of the top three.
