"SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy returned to practice Wednesday, the first significant step in the direction of a potential return from the toe injury he aggravated in Week 4. Purdy, who is expected to be limited according to coach Kyle Shanahan, initially injured the toe in a Week 1 win against the Seattle Seahawks. He missed two games and returned against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sept. 28 but aggravated the injury in that game and has not played or practiced since."
