Purdy, who signed a five-year, $265 million extension in the offseason<\/a>, initially suffered the turf toe injury in a Week 1 win over the Seahawks before sitting out the next two games.<\/p>\n He returned for a Week 4 loss to the Jaguars, but the injury was still bothering him.<\/p>\n Six weeks later, the 25-year-old Purdy remains out as he rehabs his way back onto the field.<\/p>\n \u201cAny time a backup quarterback comes in and plays good, that\u2019s all anyone talks about,\u201d Shanahan said of the burgeoning controversy.\u00a0\u201cI don\u2019t think anyone talks about what people have done in the past, whether it\u2019s Brock or whether it\u2019s anybody. That\u2019s just how the world works with media or anybody. So, I don\u2019t look too much into that stuff at all.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n Brock Purdy has only played in two games this season. AP<\/p>\n The 49ers are 5-3 in Jones\u2019 eight starts, with the former Alabama star throwing for 2,151 yards and 13 touchdowns against six interceptions.<\/p>\n Shanahan is remaining loyal, though, to the quarterback who led the 49ers to the Super Bowl two seasons ago \u2014 falling to the Chiefs in overtime.<\/p>\n \u201cWe all know how good Brock has played in the past. I think he played really good versus Seattle, and I think he struggled vs. Jacksonville, which is why we shouldn\u2019t have brought him back then,\u201d Shanahan said. \u201cAnd I know when Brock comes back, he will play the same way he always has \u2013 like a very high-level quarterback.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n \n\t\t\tmake every NFL game pay off\t\t<\/p>\n![\"underdog](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/UnderdogLogo_Final_stacked-black.png\")
