49ers' Brock Purdy: Uncertain despite encouraging MRI
GM John Lynch said Friday morning that the San Francisco 49ers feel good about Brock Purdy's right shoulder after seeing results from an MRI, but Lynch acknowledged the quarterback's status is "tenuous" for Sunday at Green Bay, Cam Inman of the San Jose Mercury News reports.In other words, the 49ers are confident Purdy doesn't have a long-term injury but aren't sure he'll be able to play this week. Coach Kyle Shanahan said Thursday that he was "hopeful" the QB would play, following Purdy doing a bit more Thursday than he did Wednesday. He didn't throw many passes Thursday before going inside to do rehab work, with Lynch telling reporters afterward that Purdy's light workload was planned all along (rather than being a response to pain/discomfort). QB Brandon Allen is expected to start Sunday's game at Green Bay if Purdy doesn't play.

Brock Purdy completed 21 of 28 pass attempts for 159 yards, one touchdown and one interception while rushing five times for 40 yards and another touchdown in Sunday's 20-17 loss to Seattle.Purdy did everything in his power to lift a shorthanded San Francisco 49ers offense to victory with his arm and ability as a rusher. San Francisco's franchise quarterback fell short in his efforts, but fantasy managers benefited from his fourth rushing touchdown over a four-game span. Purdy's lone blemish Sunday was an interception that was deflected on an incredible leaping effort by Seattle corner Devon Witherspoon. The 24-year-old Purdy and the 49ers will have to hit the road following a tough loss to face the Packers in Lambeau next Sunday.

49ers' Brock Purdy: New season high in passing yards
Brock Purdy completed 25 of 36 pass attempts for 353 yards and two touchdowns while adding four rushing attempts for 17 yards in Sunday's 23-20 win over the Buccaneers.Purdy tossed one of his finer games of the season Sunday, committing no turnovers while producing just one punting scenario on offense. The 24-year-old benefited from the return of Christian McCaffrey (Achilles), who not only keeps defenses honest with his rushing ability but also provides another weapon for his quarterback as a receiver. Purdy set a new season high in terms of passing yards while coming just 15 yards short of his career-best mark. The Iowa State product will attempt to build off of this strong performance in a home tilt against the Seahawks next Sunday.
