49ers' Brock Purdy: Miserable showing in loss
Brock Purdy completed 14 of 31 passes for 142 yards with no touchdowns and one interception and rushed once for three yards in the San Francisco 49ers' 12-6 loss to the Rams on Thursday night.Purdy was able to engineer a short 39-yard drive on the 49ers' second possession that culminated in a field goal, but San Francisco punted the other six times it had the ball in the first half. After another modest 34-yard march that led to three more points to open the second half, Purdy scuffled throughout most of the rest of the contest and also threw an interception on a deep shot to Jauan Jennings with just over five minutes remaining in the game. The Rams would subsequently embark on a marathon 13-play drive that left Purdy with just 11 seconds to try and get the 50 yards necessary for a potential game-winning score, but he threw incomplete and took a sack on the final two plays. Purdy now has thrown for 159 yards or fewer in three of his past four games heading into a Week 16 road trip to face the Dolphins on Sunday, Dec. 22.

49ers' Brock Purdy: Bounces back as expected
Brock Purdy completed 20 of 25 pass attempts for 325 yards and a pair of touchdowns while rushing five times for 11 yards in Sunday's 38-13 win over the Bears.Purdy did suffer an injury scare in the fourth quarter on a roughing the passer penalty that saw the quarterback's body bend backward in an awkward fashion between two Chicago defenders. The star QB was writhing in pain on the ground following the hit, but he wound up missing just one play before returning to the field, as reported by San Francisco 49ers' reporter Cam Inman. Aside from the brief injury scare, Purdy was firing on all cylinders against the scuttling Bears, which comes as a relief to fantasy managers following last week's dud against the Bills in the snow. Assuming that there are no lingering effects from getting clotheslined Sunday, Purdy could be in store for another high score in a potential shootout against the Rams on Thursday Night Football in Week 15.

49ers' Brock Purdy: Suffers from snowy conditiions
Brock Purdy completed 11 of 18 pass attempts for 94 yards while rushing twice for four yards with a lost fumble in Sunday's 35-10 loss to the Bills.Purdy and the entirety of San Francisco's offense struggled to gain traction in a blistering snowstorm on the road in Buffalo. The San Francisco 49ers were forced to lean on the run throughout due to the harsh weather despite playing from behind for much of the contest. Purdy's lone turnover was unforced when the ball slipped out of his hand on a pass attempt and derailed a drive deep in San Francisco territory. Purdy may have lost yet another key weapon, as Christian McCaffrey (knee) was forced out of the contest at halftime and did not return. Purdy will benefit greatly from returning home to Santa Clara, CA when the 49ers enter a soft part of the schedule starting against the Bears next Sunday.

49ers' Brock Purdy: Active, as expected, Sunday
Brock Purdy (shoulder) is listed as active Sunday at Buffalo, Lindsey Pallares of the San Francisco 49ers' official site reports.Prior to sitting out last Sunday's loss at Green Bay, Purdy barely threw as he dealt with soreness in his right throwing shoulder. He kicked off Week 13 prep in a similar manner to one week prior, but he progressed enough as the week went on to log a full practice Friday and have coach Kyle Shanahan state that the quarterback would return to action Sunday, per Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com. Still, Purdy carried a questionable designation into the weekend. Late Saturday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reported that Purdy didn't endure any setbacks Friday or Saturday and was expected to reclaim his starting gig, which now has been confirmed. The 5-6 49ers must win to keep pace in the NFC West, as the Seahawks took down the Jets on Sunday to get to 7-5, the Cardinals lost at Minnesota to fall to 6-6, and the Rams won in New Orleans to improve to 6-6. As a result, Purdy's presence is key for San Francisco's playoff push.

49ers' Brock Purdy: Remains on track to play Sunday
Brock Purdy (shoulder), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Buffalo, didn't have any setbacks Friday or Saturday and is expected to start against the Bills, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.Purdy's shoulder issue caused him to miss last Sunday's loss to Green Bay, but after getting in some light throwing at the start of this week, he logged a full practice Friday. He appears to have responded well to that session, and with no subsequent setbacks, the star quarterback appears set to return to the field Sunday. Purdy's presence is clearly a big boost to San Francisco's air attack, as No. 2 quarterback Brandon Allen completed 17 of 29 pass attempts for 199 yards, one touchdown and one interception while starting in place of Purdy in a Week 12 loss to the Packers. However, both the San Francisco 49ers and Bills could face a challenge on offense -- and specifically in the passing game -- Sunday with the forecast calling for wind and frigid temperatures along with potential snow.

Brock Purdy (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Buffalo, with San Francisco 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan saying Friday that he expects the QB to play, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports."Lots of things can happen between now and then," Shanahan said Friday. "But right now [Purdy]'s playing."

49ers' Brock Purdy: Stays limited Thursday
Brock Purdy (shoulder) was listed as limited on Thursday's injury report, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.Purdy so far is mimicking last week's practice regimen after going down as a limited participant for a second consecutive day to begin Week 13 prep. On Wednesday, though, he mustered just two short passes during the portion of the session open to the media, one to FB Kyle Juszczyk and another to a member of the training staff, per Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News. Ultimately, Friday's session likely will be key for Purdy's chances to put an end to a one-game absence Sunday at Buffalo.

49ers' Brock Purdy: Limited, but barely throws Wednesday
Brock Purdy (shoulder) was listed as a limited participant at Wednesday's practice, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.Inman relays that Purdy attempted just two passes during the portion of practice that was open to the media, so the quarterback's limited listing may not have constituted much in the way of reps. More specifically, Purdy was seen throwing a short toss to Kyle Juszczyk during running back drills and another such throw to a member of the equipment staff, which was similar to last Wednesday, when he also went down as a limited participant on the official injury report. It's unclear how much on-field work San Francisco will log the rest of the week around the Thanksgiving holiday, but it's likely that Friday's practice will be key for Purdy's chances to miss just one game as a result of right shoulder soreness. The San Francisco 49ers will travel to Buffalo for a Sunday night game this week.

49ers' Brock Purdy: Will be limited Wednesday
Head coach Kyle Shanahan said Brock Purdy (shoulder) will be a limited participant at Wednesday's practice, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.Purdy emerged from Week 11 with a sore right shoulder, and he eventually was ruled out for this past Sunday's loss to Green Bay, seemingly out of an abundance of caution. Shanahan told Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com that Purdy resumed throwing Monday, and the quarterback now seems to be on a path to returning to action Sunday at Buffalo. How Purdy is listed on practice reports Thursday and Friday likely will be key for his odds to play this weekend.

49ers' Brock Purdy: Throws Monday
Head coach Kyle Shanahan said Brock Purdy (shoulder) did some light throwing Monday and didn't have any issues, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.Purdy will rest Tuesday and see how the shoulder feels over the course of the week. He was unable to play in Sunday's 38-10 loss to the Packers, and Brandon Allen started and struggled mightily in Purdy's absence, completing 17 of 29 passes for 199 yards (6.9 yards per attempt) and one touchdown with one interception. The 5-6 San Francisco 49ers will have a tough road matchup with the Bills on tap Sunday.
