On Thursday, Purdy was seen making light throws to staff members, seemingly testing his shoulder's condition. However, Purdy eventually left the practice field for the weight room, sparking speculation on social media about his status for Sunday.

At 5-5 and sitting in last place in the NFC West, the 49ers face a crucial matchup against the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field. Purdy's absence would significantly hinder their chances of turning their season around with a victory.
Purdy did not speak to reporters on Thursday, a development that raises concerns about his availability. The 49ers typically make the upcoming game's starting quarterback available to the media after the second practice of the week.
However, San Francisco didn't make any quarterback available to reporters, suggesting the team is still uncertain about who will start against the Packers. The team announced that Purdy did not speak because he was receiving treatment on his sore right shoulder. A quarterback—whoever is expected to start—will speak to reporters on Friday.
Purdy has started all 10 games this season, amassing 2,613 passing yards, 13 touchdowns, and eight interceptions. However, his streak of consecutive starts could be in jeopardy.
NFL insider Tom Pelissero sounded optimistic about Purdy's status for this weekend.
"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. "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."
The 49ers have one final practice scheduled for Friday before heading to Green Bay for their crucial Week 12 matchup. Behind Purdy on the depth chart are quarterbacks Brandon Allen and Josh Dobbs.
