49ers practice report: Brock Purdy and Trent Williams were limited, Christian McCaffrey was full go. Jordan Watkins, not on the injury report Wednesday, was on it on Thursday. Apparently, he suffered a calf injury today.

Indeed, Williams wound up as a limited participant in practice. That's how it looked like it would shape up as we left the field today. Only new addition to injury report is WR Jordan Watkins, who was listed as limited with a calf.

#49ers QB Brock Purdy on his availability for Sunday: "Just got to see come game time how I feel. Obviously, I want to play every game. I want to be out there. You only get 17 regular season games and every game matters, especially a divisional (game) going against Cardinals. So if you ask me, I'd love to, but I mean I'm trying to be smart with my body here, but you never know. We'll see when the game comes"

More Brock Purdy on his first toe injury: "Definitely got to see come game time how I feel. Obviously I want to play every game, dude. ... If you ask’d me, I’d love to but I’m trying to be smart with my body." Sounds like this will be a Sunday noon decision

49ers GM Lynch on Brock Purdy (to @KNBR) "It was encouraging to see him practice. He was limited yesterday. He got out there and had some activity. Everyone saw that. The key now is: how does he respond to that? We’ll find that out later today to see if he can get back out there"

From @GMFB: The #Jets will start QB Tyrod Taylor, #49ers QB Brock Purdy was able to practice on a limited basis, plus #Dolphins WR Jaylen Waddle will test his shoulder pregame, but there is optimism he plays.

Fred Warner, whose forced fumble in New Orleans Sunday changed the momentum of the game, was named NFC Defensive Player of the Week. Last year, Warner started out as a strong DPOY candidate before sustaining an ankle fracture he played with for virtually the rest of the season.

The last time Brock Purdy faced the Cardinals at Levi's Stadium, he completed 54.3 percent of his passes, threw 1 touchdown pass, 2 interceptions and posted a passer rating of 62.1. He had George Kittle and Brandon Aiyuk in that game but no McCaffrey.
