Purdy, who has been out with a right big toe injury since a Week 4 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars, said Thursday that, assuming he gets through the next couple of days without any issues, he will start in Arizona."
""I feel really good, feel healthy and excited to be back and ready to go and lead the guys," Purdy said. "I'm really excited about this week. It's been a good week so far... Obviously we've got to finish out strong this week but feel really good." Purdy was a limited participant in practice on Wednesday when Shanahan said he would be an "aggressive" limited participant this week with an eye toward returning after a six-week absence."
Brock Purdy is expected to return as the San Francisco 49ers' starting quarterback Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals, pending no setback in the next days. He has been sidelined since Week 4 with a right big toe injury initially suffered against the Seattle Seahawks. Purdy reported feeling healthy and participated fully in Thursday's practice after a limited session Wednesday. Coach Kyle Shanahan confirmed the impending return. Purdy addressed the injury's impact, the potential need for surgery, the frustration of missing six weeks, and whether backup Mac Jones' strong play raised concerns.
