Brock Purdy is adjusting to the early part of the San Francisco 49ers’ training camp without head coach Kyle Shanahan on site. Multiple reports describe Purdy’s perspective that Shanahan has been a constant presence during his prior seasons, including being heard through Purdy’s helmet during practices. In the first days of camp, Purdy says it has been different going through meetings and practice routines without Shanahan physically leading them. He describes Shanahan’s role in organizing team discussions and covering situational football and what practice will look like, emphasizing that Shanahan remains a central leader for the team. At least one report notes Shanahan’s voice and leadership style have been closely tied to Purdy’s development and preparation over the years. Another outlet reports Purdy’s reaction as “incredulous” regarding Shanahan’s absence, linking it to a crash involving Shanahan. The outlets collectively indicate Purdy continues to take on quarterback responsibilities and team leadership as camp begins while Shanahan is unavailable.
