Once again, quarterback Brock Purdy starts the practice week as a limited participant. He was limited all of last week and ultimately ruled out against the Atlanta Falcons.
Cornerback Upton Stout, who missed Sunday's game with a shoulder injury, also practiced on a limited basis. Renardo Green, dealing with a toe injury sustained against the Falcons, joined Stout as a limited participant.
Several players did not practice, most notably wide receiver Ricky Pearsall and cornerback Deommodore Lenoir. Pearsall has been sidelined since Week 4 with a knee injury, while Lenoir is dealing with a quad injury he suffered during Sunday's game.
The 49ers opened offensive lineman Spencer Burford's practice window. He has been on injured reserve since September 20 due to a knee injury.
Players seen working on the side:
- C Jake Brendel
- DE Bryce Huff
- CB Deommodore Lenoir
- WR Ricky Pearsall
