49ers QB Brock Purdy (toe) likely to deal with injury rest of yearNovember 03, 2025 | 06:15 AM

49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said last week that there was some hope that Brock Purdy could serve as the backup or emergency quarterback for Sunday's road game against the Giants, but he ultimately remained on the inactive list due to turf toe while Mac Jones started for the fifth straight game. "No, nothing changes Mac Jones in that way," Shanahan said, via 49ersWebzone. com. "We're trying to ease Brock out there in the practice stuff, but anytime you're dealing with this turf toe, it's something that probably won't fully go away all year. Regardless of when he comes back, he's going to always have to deal with it a little bit, especially with the people you talk to who have gone through turf toe."
