San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy was limited during Wednesday's practice and refrained from throwing altogether in at least the position of practice that was open to the media. Purdy is dealing with a shoulder injury sustained during Sunday's loss to the Seattle Seahawks, with soreness reported when he checked in with the team on Monday morning.
NFL insider Tom Pelissero doesn't anticipate the injury sidelining Purdy for this weekend's crucial game against the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field.
"Brock Purdy, from everything I've been told, should be fine for this game on Sunday against the Packers," Pelissero said during an appearance on The Rich Eisen Show with guest host Mike Hill. "He's got a sore shoulder. I know he dove—I'm not sure if that's the play—but he dove for the pylon in the game last week, might have landed on it a little bit. But it's not anything that's like a major injury.
"They want to ease off him in terms of reps through the week, so he didn't throw a whole lot in practice yesterday. I fully anticipate, barring some type of a setback or surprise, which sometimes can happen with throwing shoulders, I believe he'll be in the lineup against the Packers."
This is encouraging news for the 49ers, who are desperate for a win after dropping to 5-5 on the season. A victory would help them climb out of the NFC West basement and push them back into the playoff race.
Despite their struggles, the 49ers remain just one game behind the division-leading Arizona Cardinals, who hold a 6-4 record.
