"Mac Jones, who has started the last four games for the 49ers at quarterback and six overall, is day to day with a knee contusion. Asked in a conference call with Bay Area writers if Purdy was a longshot to face the Giants, Shanahan said, I think it's too early to say. I don't think he's a longshot but he's doing better and we'll see how he's doing Wednesday. Hopefully, if he's doing some good, he'll get in some reps."
"Pearsall, who was one of the 49ers best playmakers with 20 receptions and a 16.4 yards per reception average through four games, has also been out since the Jacksonville game. I'm sure he's doing better this week than last week, but I haven't been told when he'll be back, Shanahan said. We'll have to evaluate that when we get to Wednesday."
Brock Purdy last played Sept. 28 in a 26-21 loss to Jacksonville after aggravating a right turf toe sustained in the opener against Seattle. Mac Jones has started the last four games and six overall and is day to day with a knee contusion. Purdy is improving but his availability for Week 9 remains undecided and will be evaluated with potential practice reps on Wednesday. Ricky Pearsall has been out since the Jacksonville game; he had 20 receptions and a 16.4 yards-per-reception average through four games and is expected to be healthier this week. Left guard Ben Bartch will have a practice window opened Wednesday, giving the team three weeks to determine activation timing while rookie Connor Colby has been starting in his place.
