“Purdy has a sore right throwing should after taking a hit against Seattle and will be day-to-day this week. Shanahan doesn’t believe he was affected during the game.
Elsewhere, here’s what the 49ers are dealing with:

“I think once he gets in practice, you open that window up, he probably takes a little bit of that window,” Lynch said on KNBR. “Coming off an Achilles, it’s not a simple thing. It’s not easy. You just really have to go through all the steps.”
“When the 49ers went with two tight ends, they tapped Moore, a tackle, for the job.
