SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS NEWS

Uncertain despite encouraging MRI GM John Lynch said Friday morning that the 49ers feel good about Purdy's right shoulder after seeing results from an MRI, but Lynch acknowledged the quarterback's status is "tenuou...

Impact In other words, the 49ers are confident Purdy doesn't have a long-term injury but aren't sure he'll be able to play this week. Coach Kyle Shanahan said Thursday that was "hopeful" the QB would play, following Purdy's progression from a missed practice Wednesday to limited participation Thursday. He didn't throw many passes Thursday before going inside to do rehab work, with Lynch telling reporters afterward that Purdy's light workload was planned all along (rather than being a response to pain/discomfort). QB Brandon Allen is expected to start Sunday's game at Green Bay if Purdy doesn't play.

Misses practice again Bosa (hip) did not participate in Thursday's practice, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Impact San Francisco coach Kyle Shanahan also told the KNBR radio station that Bosa is "in jeopardy of not playing Sunday" against the Packers, per Branch. Bosa injured his hip on a third quarter sack of Seattle quarterback Geno Smith during last Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Seahawks.

Misses practice Thursday Cowing (concussion) did not participate in practice Thursday.

Impact The punt returner and wide receiver was a limited participant Wednesday after suffering the concussion during Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Seahawks. Cowing's status is moving in the wrong direction as this week's showdown with the Packers approaches. Ronnie Bell might be in line to return punts if Cowing misses Week 12.

Some optimism for Sunday Coach Kyle Shanahan told KNBR that Purdy practiced "a little more" Thursday than he did Wednesday and that he is "hopeful" the quarterback will be available Sunday in Green Bay.

Impact After not attempting any passes at Wednesday's session due to a sore right shoulder, Purdy was spotted throwing during warmups Thursday before leaving the field at the start of the third period, according to David Lombardi of SFStandard.com. Purdy's ensuing listed on the 49ers' injury report remained limited, per Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com. In addition to the capped activity, Purdy didn't speak to the media Thursday like he normally would, according to Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle. Purdy seems destined to be listed as questionable heading into the weekend, which will become known when San Francisco posts its final practice report of the week Friday. Brandon Allen is the No. 2 QB on the team's active roster.

Remains limited at practice Kittle (hamstring) practiced in a limited fashion Thursday, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Kittle maintained his activity level for a second day in a row and in a fourth straight session going back to last week due to hamstring irritation that sidelined him for this past Sunday's loss to the Seahawks. No matter, he relayed to David Lombardi of SFStandard.com on Wednesday that he intends to return to action Sunday in Green Bay. The 49ers can confirm as much Friday when they post their final injury report of the week, but a decision also could come down to about 90 minutes before a 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff.

No media session Thursday The 49ers announced Purdy won't speak with the media Thursday as he instead received treatment on his sore right shoulder, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Impact Purdy typically meets with members of the media after the second practice of every week, but at Thursday's session he threw only during warmups -- which is more than he did Wednesday -- before leaving the field at the beginning of the third period, per David Lombardi of SFStandard.com.While his activity level isn't yet known, Purdy seems like he'll go down as a limited participant for a second day in a row. If Purdy isn't able to suit up Sunday at Green Bay, Brandon Allen would be under center for the 49ers in Week 12.
