But this week that designation comes with a different description from coach Kyle Shanahan. "It'll be aggressive practice," Shanahan said. "We've just got to put limited if it's not exactly how it normally is." Shanahan added that the hope for Purdy this week is to continue ramping up his workload in practice with the No. 1 offense."
Brock Purdy will be limited in practice for a fourth consecutive week as the 49ers continue managing his toe injury. Coach Kyle Shanahan described Wednesday's work as an "aggressive practice" and said the team aims to ramp up Purdy's workload with the No. 1 offense.
