He wears a red cap, white gloves, and black shorts.\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Brock Purdy, who is dealing with an injured shoulder, did not throw during the media viewing window of Wednesday\u2019s practice. The 49ers quarterback, who missed last week\u2019s loss to the Green Bay Packers, was officially a limited participant as he mainly watched backups Brandon Allen, Josh Dobbs, and Tanner Mordecai work through early drills.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Here\u2019s Brock Purdy at practice today. He mimicked some of the QB drill stuff as much as he could without throwing and then watched through this period <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/j53yHpwc1G\">pic.twitter.com\/j53yHpwc1G<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; David Lombardi (@LombardiHimself) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/LombardiHimself\/status\/1861893808893706634?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">November 27, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>Coach Kyle Shanahan said on Monday that Purdy underwent a light throwing session to begin the week and that he felt no issue with his shoulder in the immediate aftermath. Shanahan didn\u2019t specify if the 49ers had planned for Purdy to throw Wednesday \u2014 \u201cwe\u2019ll decide when we get out there,\u201d he said before practice \u2014 but it is possible that the QB is adhering to the same ramp-up formula as last week.<\/p>\n<p>Purdy didn\u2019t throw at last Wednesday\u2019s practice before throwing lightly at the beginning of Thursday\u2019s session. That\u2019s when he felt discomfort and exited the field. The 49ers ruled him out of the Packers game the next day.<\/p>\n<p>The 49ers obviously hope that this Thursday\u2019s practice goes better than it did last week. The session will be closed to the media since it\u2019s Thanksgiving Day, meaning that the next update on Purdy\u2019s status should come Friday.<\/p>\n<p>If Purdy can\u2019t play, Allen will make his second consecutive start in Buffalo, where freezing temperatures and snow are in the forecast. The 9-2 Bills are now 7-point favorites over the beleaguered 49ers, who again missed several key players at Wednesday\u2019s practice.<\/p>\n<p>Defensive end Nick Bosa (hip\/oblique) said that he\u2019s feeling better this week but still unsure if it\u2019ll be possible to return against the Bills. Bosa chatted in the locker room and shared a hug with left tackle Trent Williams, who\u2019s moving around the 49ers\u2019 facility with a knee scooter that allows him to take pressure off his injured left ankle. Neither will practice this week.<\/p>\n<p>Left guard Aaron Banks and defensive tackle Jordan Elliott both remain in the concussion protocol and missed Wednesday\u2019s session. So did cornerback Deommodore Lenoir, who has a knee injury.<\/p>\n<p>The 49ers did return linebacker Dre Greenlaw, who practiced for the first time since tearing his Achilles in February\u2019s Super Bowl.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Dre Greenlaw is back at 49ers practice for the first time since tearing his Achilles at the Super Bowl <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/Zu6IvWCzQS\">pic.twitter.com\/Zu6IvWCzQS<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; David Lombardi (@LombardiHimself) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/LombardiHimself\/status\/1861891293905055924?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">November 27, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<figure class=\"\"><\/figure>\n<div>\n<p>The 49ers do not expect Greenlaw to immediately return to game action, but they are thrilled that their hard-hitting linebacker is healthy enough to practice just about nine months removed from a devastating injury. For now, Greenlaw remains on the physically unable to perform (PUP) list as he practices. The 49ers have 21 days to activate him to the 53-man roster, or his season will be finished.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m really proud of Dre with the way he\u2019s attacked this,\u201d 49ers general manager John Lynch said on KNBR Tuesday. \u201cHe\u2019s a difference-maker for us on the field, but we\u2019re inspired just by watching him out here. Hats off to the kid for working his tail off.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The team\u2019s other star linebacker, Fred Warner, is also dealing with a serious injury, revealing on Wednesday that he actually fractured his ankle in Week 4 against the New England Patriots, but has been playing through that painful injury ever since.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s something I deal with before every game,\u201d Warner said, after joined Greenlaw in warm-up drills. \u201cI get on that table before every game and get shot up every single game just to be able to roll. It\u2019s not an excuse. That\u2019s the NFL. You\u2019re not going to be healthy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnytime you fracture a bone, if you continue to play on it, the bone\u2019s not going to be able to heal itself. So you\u2019ve just got to be able to fight through.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Warner, who opened as Pro Football Focus\u2019 highest-graded defender over the first month of this season, has not played nearly as well since his injury. His worst game, marred by four missed tackles, came this past weekend in Green Bay. But with Greenlaw out and many other members of the 49ers defense ailing, Warner has found it necessary to strain through.<\/p>\n<p>The overall mediocrity of the NFC West has allowed the 49ers, who are 5-6, to remain in the playoff race despite the litany of injuries. The Seattle Seahawks and Arizona Cardinals are tied for first place at 6-5.<\/p>\n<p>The 49ers are limping along but refusing to wave the white flag.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re just going to keep chopping wood,\u201d running back Christian McCaffrey said. \u201cThat\u2019s all we can do.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Said Shanahan: \u201cThe vibe in our locker room is exactly how you would think it\u2019d be. We\u2019re upset with where we\u2019re at in our record, but we\u2019ve got a tight group and we play together.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;We&#8217;re just going to keep chopping wood,&#8221; said running back Christian McCaffrey, as more 49ers stars grapple with serious injuries.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":13264,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-13263","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nfl"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.6 -
