- Shanahan said Purdy should have a good chance to play at Arizona if he takes another step forward this week.
- The 49ers maintain Purdy will start when healthy, and Shanahan dismissed outside talk of a quarterback controversy.
- Mac Jones has stabilized the offense in Purdy’s absence, going 5–3 with 2,151 yards, 13 touchdowns and six interceptions, including 319 yards and three TDs vs. the Rams.
