"I think it's a long shot," Shanahan said.

Purdy also is dealing with a left-shoulder injury and won't practice Wednesday, but it is his unspecified toe injury that is a greater cause for concern. Shanahan allowed it to be classified as a turf toe injury although it is not by definition strictly on the bottom of Purdy's toe but also its side. The injury occured when tackled on a second-quarter scramble near the sideline, Shanahan said.

Trailing 13-10 with just 1:43 to go, Purdy pulled a very wild improvisational rabbit out of his hat on a Third and Goal. It was a do-or-die play, and Purdy did, as he ran back about ten full yards from the line of scrimmage, danced around three defenders, and just plain chucked a wing and a prayer up to the end zone, where the triple-covered third-string tight end Jake Tonges somehow caught the jump ball. This would prove the game winning touchdown.
