The second straight season of brutal injury luck in San Francisco rolls right along. Brock Purdy was at least present at practice today, though it was in a limited fashion. If Jennings misses, Pearsall should be considered a high-end WR2, and Jennings would be in a similar situation if the roles are reversed. We'll keep an eye on things as the week continues.

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy will continue to practice this week and could play Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars, coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday. Purdy’s status will remain up in the air as the team evaluates him in practice starting Wednesday.

“We’ll see on Wednesday how much he is able to do,” Shanahan said.

Jones, meanwhile, is day-to-day with a knee injury that bugged him but did not keep him out of Sunday’s win over the Arizona Cardinals, the story went on to say. Purdy practiced in a limited capacity last week, and both Purdy and Shanahan were pleased with his progress. The team left the door open for Purdy to serve as the backup against the Cardinals, but he was inactive, the story said.

Brock Purdy’s toe injury has improved to the point that he will be a limited participant in Wednesday’s practice, Kyle Shanahan said roughly an hour before the session was scheduled to begin.

Purdy still *feels* like a longshot for Week 3, but we didn't expect him back to practice this soon, either. If he's well enough to play, he's well enough to be in lineup consideration, but for now, consider Jones a streaming option in the QB15-18 range until we get more clarity on Purdy.

49ers quarterback Brock Purdy (toe) is “not out of the question” for Week 3 against the Cardinals.

Purdy has improved from his toe injury and has progressed, but the team is not optimistic he’ll be able to return. The original timeline for Purdy was 2-5 weeks but the team did not place Purdy on injured reserve. For the time being, Mac Jones will take the reigns of the 49ers offense, starting with Sunday against the Saints.

With this timeline for 49ers QB Brock Purdy, he's likely to miss games against the #Saints and #AZCardinals, at least. Then, his availability will be determined by how his rehab goes.

The 49ers are once again being brutalized by injury. Normally, we'd expect a downturn in production for skill players, but Ricky Pearsall and Christian McCaffrey are basically the only two remaining, so we're not benching them. Jones should be considered a low-end QB2 in these or subsequent starts.

49ers coach Kyle Shanahan says QB Brock Purdy won't practice today because of his toe and shoulder injuries and views him as a "long shot" to play.

Sounds like Mac Jones will be getting his first start with the 49ers.

49ers officially are signing veteran kicker Eddy Pineiro to their active roster on a one-year deal, per his agents Drew Rosenhaus and Robert Bailey.

The Niners worked out Pineiro and he's now the official replacement for Moody. Pineiro could be on the fantasy radar this season assuming he sticks with the team. San Francisco is banged up at the moment, but could be a high-scoring team once they get back to full strength.

Sources: 49ers are placing Pro Bowl TE George Kittle on injured reserve, meaning he now will miss at least the next four games.

Kittle injured his hamstring during Sunday’s win over Seattle and now will miss games at New Orleans, vs. Atlanta, Jacksonville and at the Rams, Schefter said. This move was a possibility as early as yesterday when his timeframe was 3-5 weeks.

At this point, it does not appear Jauan Jennings' shoulder injury is serious. Some good injury news after a rough one on Monday.

There is no word on what his status may be for Week 2, but there could at least be a window where he's able to play. Owners will want to monitor practice reports this week. The Niners were hammered by injuries in Week 1, losing George Kittle for multiple weeks because of a hamstring injury, and on top of that, Brock Purdy is dealing with toe and shoulder issues and is a question mark for this week against the Saints. Having Jennings will be a boost to the offense if he can go, but we likely won't know more until later this week.

Christian McCaffrey seemed unbothered by the calf issue that crept up Thursday, and he did not appear on Shanahan’s Monday afternoon injury report.

The story went on to say that despite CMC's 31 touches, the 49ers at least made an effort to give him more breaks than normal. He played 76% of the offensive snaps. By comparison, he played 85% of the snaps in the 2023 opener in Pittsburgh, and that was a blowout win, the story went on to say. Robinson carried nine times for 33 yards. With all the injuries piling up, it's easy to see CMC continuing this pace, especially if he really did escape from Week 1 healthy.
