Despite listing Brock Purdy inactive again Sunday, 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said the call was tighter than in recent weeks after a 42-26 loss to the Rams. Purdy, sidelined since Week 4 with a toe injury first suffered in Week 1 and aggravated in his Week 4 return, “could have gone,” Shanahan said, but the team chose caution. Mac Jones threw three touchdowns, yet Shanahan maintained Purdy’s health alone will determine the starter. If cleared, Purdy could return in Arizona next Sunday.
