The 49ers didn’t have Brock Purdy during Saturday’s practice, and the offense looked like a unit missing its starter. Purdy will return Monday. Per ESPN’s Nick Wagoner, the team will decide if Purdy can practice on successive days.
Aaron Banks remained sidelined with a concussion, so Jon Feliciano filled in at left guard. Defensively, Arik Armstead and Talanoa Hufanga had rest days. Javon Kinlaw subbed in for Armstead while George Odum and Ji’Ayir Brown took turns in the rotation for Hufanga.
Here’s a list of the rest of the players who sat out of Saturday’s practice:
Elijah Mitchell
Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles
Robert Beal
Jaylon Moore
Kalia Davis
Nick Bosa
Saturday was more of a lethargic practice, which isn’t much of a surprise as Friday had an extra period that was 30 minutes instead of the usual 12 minutes, and Monday’s scrimmage inside Levi’s Stadium on the horizon.
