Brock Purdy was excused from the San Francisco 49ers' third training camp practice on Friday for personal reasons, with the team confirming his absence isn't injury-related and isn't expected to extend multiple days. Mac Jones and Tanner Mordecai were the only quarterbacks available during the 90-minute session.
Purdy had participated fully in the previous two practices, delivering a strong performance on Thursday with just one incompletion after throwing interceptions on consecutive passes during Wednesday's session. The quarterback recently signed a record five-year, $265 million contract extension ahead of his fourth season.
Jones took first-team reps and showed increasing comfort in Kyle Shanahan's system, though he threw an interception to Ji'Ayir Brown while targeting Jordan Watkins. Mordecai was picked off by linebacker Jalen Graham shortly afterward on a short throw, but previously completed consecutive boundary passes to Watkins and Brayden Willis—who led practice with four receptions.
Rookie quarterback Kurtis Rourke remains on the Non-Football Injury list while recovering from January ACL surgery.
In the kicker competition, both Jake Moody and Greg Joseph had imperfect performances Friday after previously going 4-for-4 in Wednesday's practice. The pair had minimal misses during spring workouts.
