Quarterback Brock Purdy continues to be a limited practice participant as he works his way back from the toe injury suffered in Week 1. However, he has been ruled out for Sunday, leaving Mac Jones set to make his sixth start of the season.
Shanahan noted that Purdy will travel with the 49ers this weekend, a positive sign of progress in his recovery.
