A report Thursday indicates Brock Purdy will miss 2-5 weeks with a toe injury, but General Manager John Lynch later said the 49ers consider their quarterback "week to week."

Purdy will miss this week, with coach Kyle Shanahan ruling Purdy out for Sunday's game against the Saints.

"Yeah, he won’t be playing this week," Shanahan said on KNBR, via David Bonilla of 49erswebzone.com.

Shanahan conceded that Purdy, who also has a left shoulder injury, could miss multiple weeks.

"Yeah, the same deal as what I said yesterday," Shanahan said. "Still a chance he can miss the next game. We're not sure. We'll see how the toe heals. It's kind of week-to-week right now, but he's getting better. Had a good rehab day today, and hopefully, we'll have some better luck next week."

Purdy went 26-of-35 passing for 277 yards, two touchdowns, and two interceptions in a victory over the Seahawks in Week 1.

In his absence, Mac Jones will start with practice squad quarterback Adrian Martinez as the backup.

There was no doubt Micah Parsons was playing in Thursday Night Football, but the Packers listed him as questionable nonetheless.

Parsons, who had limited practices all week, indeed is active and good to go against the Commanders.

He is expected to play more than the 29 snaps he played Sunday in his Packers debut.

Cornerback Nate Hobbs (knee) also is dressed and ready to play after a questionable designation.

The Packers, though, won't have right tackle Zach Tom (oblique) or left guard Aaron Banks (ankle/groin). They, too, were questionable.

The team's other inactives are safety Zayne Anderson (knee), cornerback Bo Melton, tight end Ben Sims and defensive lineman Warren Brinson.

Punter Tress Way (back) and defensive lineman Deatrich Wise (knee) are active for the Commanders after questionable designations.

The team's inactives are punter Mitch Wishnowsky, quarterback Josh Johnson, running back Chris Rodriguez Jr., linebacker Ale Kaho, linebacker Kain Medrano, offensive tackle Trent Scott and offensive tackle George Fant. Johnson will serve as the emergency third quarterback.

49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings (shoulder) did not practice again Thursday.

Jennings left with his injury in the fourth quarter of the 49ers' win over the Seahawks and did not return. MRI and CT scans revealed no significant damage to his left shoulder.

He had two catches for 16 yards in Week 1.

Running back Christian McCaffrey (calf/not injury related) missed practice Wednesday, but he returned to full participation Thursday.

McCaffrey created some concern last week when he popped up on the injury report, but the 2023 offensive player of the year said it was "nothing serious." He played 58 offensive snaps and had 31 touches for 142 yards from scrimmage.

Defensive end Yetur Gross-Matos (knee) returned to limited work after missing Wednesday's sessions.

The rest of the team's report remained the same, with quarterback Brock Purdy (left shoulder/toe) and left tackle Trent Williams (knee/not injury related) not practicing again. Offensive guard Ben Bartch (knee/elbow), running back Jordan James (finger) and wide receiver Jordan Watkins (ankle) remained limited.
