Overview
- Brock Purdy has progressed from a lingering toe injury and is not considered a long shot for Week 9, with a determination expected after he takes reps Wednesday.
- Brandon Aiyuk will not have his 21‑day practice window opened this week, while left guard Ben Bartch is set to start his return window Wednesday.
- Several players injured in the loss to Houston are day to day, including Mac Jones (knee contusion), Sam Okuayinonu (ankle), Alfred Collins (shoulder), Jordan Elliott (ankle) and Dee Winters (knee).
- San Francisco worked out four defenders — Andrew Farmer, Clelin Ferrell, Kingsley Jonathan and Casey Toohill — after the Carolina Panthers signed Trevis Gipson off the 49ers’ practice squad.
- With Nick Bosa out for the season and more attrition up front, the 49ers are tied near the bottom of the league in sacks and enter Week 9 at 5–3 after a 26–15 loss to the Texans.
