Brock Purdy and Mac Jones both continued practicing with the 49ers, even while managing injuries. Purdy has missed four games due to a toe injury, while Jones has been playing through knee and oblique issues.
While Purdy taking part in practice is a positive sign, many expect Mac Jones to start once again when the 49ers face the Atlanta Falcons. Purdy was limited on Thursday, while Jones was a full participant after being limited on Wednesday.
Guard Dominick Puni returned to practice after missing Wednesday's session with a knee injury. However, wide receiver Ricky Pearsall was unable to return from his own knee injury, leaving his availability for Sunday night in question.
Tight end George Kittle continues to practice as he works his way back from a hamstring injury.
Below are Thursday's practice participation reports for both the 49ers and Falcons, which were provided by the 49ers Communications staff.
