"It was also clear from Shanahan's tone off a conference call with local writers that place kicker Jake Moody's status is being evaluated and could result in a change this week. We're looking into all that stuff now, Shanahan said. There's options. Whether to stay the status quo, to bring guys in for a workout, signing someone to practice squad. But we're going through all that stuff right now."
"Kittle: They tell me a few weeks. In order to (put him on I.R.) it's got to be four-week injury so I don't think we've decided on that yet. Purdy: I'd say the toe is probably worse than the shoulder. We're not sure (on his availability) and we'll see how it heals as the week goes on. The injury occurred, Shanahan said, when Purdy was driven to the turf in the first half on an incomplete pass to Ricky Pearsall Jr."
Tight end George Kittle has a hamstring strain and will miss a few weeks, with potential placement on injured reserve requiring a four-week absence. Quarterback Brock Purdy suffered toe and left shoulder issues after being driven to the turf, and his availability for Week 2 against the Saints is uncertain as the injuries are monitored. Wide receiver Jauan Jennings is being evaluated for a shoulder injury; his MRI was good and a CT scan result is pending. Place kicker Jake Moody's status is under review with possible roster or practice-squad moves. Backup plans include Mac Jones and Adrian Martinez.
