SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- After missing Sunday's victory against the New Orleans Saints because of a toe injury, San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy could return this week against the Arizona Cardinals. Last week at this time, Niners coach Kyle Shanahan called Purdy a "long shot" to play against the Saints, all but ruling him out five days before that game.
Despite playing all 17 games in 2024, Tyreek Hill had a lingering wrist injury. The former five-time first-team All-Pro selection was not at his normal standard. Hill had wrist surgery this offseason and missed most of August with an oblique injury. Speaking with the media on Friday, head coach Mike McDaniel said that Tyreek Hill will "absolutely" play in Week 1 vs. the Colts.
