Coach Kyle Shanahan told KNBR that Purdy practiced "a little more" Thursday than he did Wednesday and that he is "hopeful" the quarterback will be available Sunday in Green Bay.

After not attempting any passes at Wednesday's session due to a sore right shoulder, Purdy was spotted throwing during warmups Thursday before leaving the field at the start of the third period, according to David Lombardi of SFStandard.com. Purdy's ensuing listing on the 49ers' injury report remained limited, per Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com. In addition to the capped activity, Purdy didn't speak to the media Thursday like he normally would, according to Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle. Purdy seems destined to be listed as questionable heading into the weekend, which will become known when San Francisco posts its final practice report of the week Friday. Brandon Allen is the No. 2 QB on the team's active roster.

The 49ers announced Purdy won't speak with the media Thursday as he instead received treatment on his sore right shoulder, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Purdy typically meets with members of the media after the second practice of every week, but at Thursday's session he threw only during warmups -- which is more than he did Wednesday -- before leaving the field at the beginning of the third period, per David Lombardi of SFStandard.com. Purdy proceeded to go down as a limited participant for a second day in a row, according to Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com. If Purdy isn't able to suit up Sunday at Green Bay, Brandon Allen would be under center for the 49ers in Week 12.

Hurts (ankle) was a full participant at Thursday's practice.

Hurts entered a maintenance program for an ankle injury that he suffered during last Thursday's win versus the Commanders., resulting in a limited session this Wednesday. As expected, though, he got back to all activity one day later and thus is set to continue to lead the Eagles offense Sunday night against the Rams. Since heading into a Week 5 bye with a 4:4 TD:INT and two rushing touchdowns in four contests, Hurts has been off and running, completing 92 of 131 passes (70.2 percent) for 1,267 yards, eight touchdowns and one interception, recording 61 carries for 254 yards and another nine TDs and losing one fumble over the last six games.

Darnold (foot) was a full practice participant Thursday.

After beginning Week 12 prep as limited due to a foot injury Wednesday, Darnold was able to handle all on-field work one day later, setting him up to continue leading the Vikings offense Sunday in Chicago. Since Minnesota's Week 6 bye, he's completed 112 of 156 passes (71.8 percent) for 1,276 yards, eight touchdowns and six interceptions, rushed 26 times for 105 yards and another TD and fumbled twice (both lost).

Hurts was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice due to an ankle injury.

Hurts told Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer on Wednesday that the Eagles have had him on a "mini-program" due to a lower-body issue he's been dealing with since last Thursday's win against the Commanders. There's an expectation that Hurts will follow up Wednesday's capped session with full participation Thursday and Friday, according to Tim McManus of ESPN.com. The aforementioned regimen thus will allow Hurts to continue to lead Philadelphia's offense Sunday against the Rams.

Darnold was a limited participant in practice Wednesday due to a foot injury.

Darnold kicked off last week as a limited participant due to a right hand injury but followed up with a full session one day later, allowing him to suit up this past Sunday at Tennessee. He's tending to a new health concern this week, though, meaning his status will be watched as the weekend approaches to see if he's in any danger of being sidelined Sunday in Chicago.

The Packers signed McGough to the practice squad Wednesday, Zach Kruse of USA Today reports.

McGough spent the entire 2023 regular season on the Packers' practice squad. He suffered multiple lower body injuries during the offseason, and after reverting to Green Bay's injured reserve in July, the two sides were able to reach an injury settlement that allowed McGough to explore his options once healthy. The 2018 seventh-round pick worked out with the Giants on Tuesday, but the former college quarterback will return to the Packers and continue to develop his skills as a wide receiver.

Head coach Kyle Shanahan said Purdy (shoulder) will be a limited participant at Wednesday's practice, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Shanahan revealed Monday that Purdy emerged from the 49ers' Week 11 loss to the Seahawks with soreness in his right shoulder and was considered day-to-day. On Wednesday, Shanahan told David Lombardi of SFStandard.com that he isn't too concerned about the quarterback's availability for Sunday's game at Green Bay. Ultimately, Purdy's activity level in practices Thursday and Friday may determine whether or not he heads into the weekend with an injury designation.

The Seahawks signed Plumlee to their practice squad Wednesday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.

Before joining the Seahawks' practice squad Monday, Plumlee spent the majority of his 2024 campaign with the Jaguars' practice squad before being cut Nov. 12. The undrafted rookie from UCF threw for 5,838 yards, 34 touchdowns and 19 interceptions across his final two collegiate seasons.

Winston's pass attempts could be scaled back in Thursday's game against the Steelers with high winds and rain and/or snow in the forecast for Cleveland, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.

Winston attempted at least 41 passes in his first three starts since taking over for the injured Deshaun Watson (Achilles), with Winston dropping back on more than two-thirds of Cleveland's offensive plays. Thanks to the heavy volume, Winston accrued 395 passing yards and two touchdowns in this past Sunday's 35-14 loss to the Saints, but the unfavorable weather forecast for the Week 12 game could prompt the Browns to lean more heavily on their Nick Chubb-led ground attack.
