49ers QB Purdy Expected Out 2-5 Weeks Turf Toe

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy is dealing with a turf toe injury and a left shoulder ailment, making him a "long shot" to play in the Week 2 game against the New Orleans Saints. Coach Kyle Shanahan indicated that Purdy could miss two to five weeks as he recovers, with backup Mac Jones expected to start in his place. Purdy played through injuries during the season opener against the Seattle Seahawks, leading a game-winning touchdown drive despite his ailments. Jones, a former first-round pick by New England, joined the 49ers as a free agent and has been praised by Shanahan for his pocket presence and ability to distribute the ball effectively. The Saints will start Spencer Rattler, who recently lost the season home opener against the Arizona Cardinals. Shanahan's comments emphasize the team's cautious approach to Purdy's health following his previous injury history.
