SANTA CLARA — Here is Monday’s practice report on how the 49ers’ quarterbacks looked at training camp:BROCK PURDYPurdy’s comeback from elbow surgery will carry over this week against the Raiders, albeit in joint practices Thursday and Friday rather than in Sunday’s preseason opener.“I doubt Brock plays,” coach Kyle Shanahan said. “I haven’t fully decided it yet.”In seemingly hogging the ball Monday in camp’s hottest practice (87 degrees), Purdy completed 9-of-18 passes, one of which got intercepted by Tashaun GIpson Sr. when tipped by cornerback Charvarius Ward.

But it also could signal that top prospect Lawrence Butler might soon arrive in Oakland.Butler, 23, had a breakout spring training despite never playing a game above Single-...
