However, after Purdy was severely limited during practices, the 49ers ruled him out on Friday. His status for next weekend's game against the Buffalo Bills remains "up in the air."
On Sunday morning, FOX Sports' Jay Glazer revealed that Purdy underwent a second MRI after experiencing significant difficulty throwing during Thursday's practice. He ultimately left the session to receive treatment for his sore shoulder, canceling his post-practice press conference with reporters and casting serious doubt in his availability this weekend.
"So he actually hurt his shoulder last week against Seattle, and Monday they gave him an MRI, just showed a shoulder strain," Glazer said. "Tuesday, Wednesday, practice. They thought he was tracking on the right pace there. And then, Thursday, went out and tried to throw. It just locked up on him.
"So, what nobody knows is they gave him another MRI on Thursday, but it didn't really show anything else. So they're kind of living with a question of when he's going to come back there. They're going to just try and rehab it, hope he comes back next week. They just don't know right now."
Despite the setback, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that the 49ers remain optimistic about Purdy's chances of playing against the Bills. The team does not view the injury as a long-term concern, although they acknowledge some uncertainty.
"49ers believe QB Brock Purdy should be able to return next Sunday at Buffalo despite his shoulder soreness," Schefter wrote. "Then again, they also thought he would be able to start today at Green Bay before he couldn't. Still, for the time being, there does not seem to be a high level of concern."
