The soreness in Purdy's shoulder has prevented him from throwing in the team's first two practices. The 49ers have one more session scheduled on Friday before heading to Lambeau Field for this weekend's matchup against the Green Bay Packers.
Lynch admitted that neither Purdy nor the 49ers know exactly when the quarterback sustained his injury.
"I know that he kind of fought through it throughout the course of the game," Lynch said. "And I'm not saying anything debilitating, but I did see him, during the course of the game, throwing a lot in between. Anytime there was a pause in the game, he kept throwing. And so I think, at that point, you're probably feeling something, but I think he was so focused on trying to win that game.
"We've had a plan to try to try to quiet it down. And Wednesday, didn't do any throwing. Kind of went out there and just did practice. Thursday, started to do some throwing, and then went inside and did some rehab, per the plan.
"So we'll see where he's at today. Hopefully, he makes progress, and we can have a shot at this weekend, but we'll see. I think it is tenuous."
Lynch revealed that Purdy underwent an MRI earlier this week.
"We feel good about where it's at from that standpoint," Lynch continued. "But still, you have to be able to go out and operate. And so, we're kind of figuring all that out. Brock's going to show up here today, and we'll see where he can go in terms of practice, and we'll make some decisions accordingly."
If Purdy cannot play on Sunday, Lynch stated that Brandon Allen would step in as the starter against the Packers. Both Allen and Josh Dobbs have taken significant practice reps this week as Purdy continues to recover.
"Brandon Allen and Josh Dobbs would both be ready, but Brandon would get the first snaps," Lynch stated.
