It looks like the San Francisco 49ers might get their quarterback back under center in time for a Week 13 matchup with the Buffalo Bills.
QB Brock Purdy injured his shoulder in Week 11 against the Seattle Seahawks and wound up missing the team’s blowout Week 12 loss to the Green Bay Packers.
Brock Purdy injury update
Purdy was limited throughout Week 12 and was ultimately ruled out on the Friday injury report. That changed in Week 13 where he was limited Wednesday and Thursday, then participated in full during Friday’s session.
The 49ers officially listed Purdy as ‘questionable,’ but head coach Kyle Shanahan sounded optimistic about the starting signal caller’s chances to suit up in Buffalo.
“Yes. I mean, lots of things can happen between now and then,” Shanahan said. “But right now he’s playing, so he’s doing good. He had a good day.”
ESPN’s Adam Schefter on Saturday night reported Purdy didn’t suffer any setbacks and would play.
We’ll officially find out 90 minutes before Sunday night’s scheduled 5:20pm Pacific Time kickoff.
How long was Brock Purdy out?
Purdy missed only one game, and even if he winds up missing Week 13, it doesn’t sound like his status would be in jeopardy well beyond this week.
49ers QB depth chart
If Purdy can’t go it would be Brandon Allen as the starter with Josh Dobbs suiting up as the backup QB. Allen started in Green Bay and completed 17-of-29 throws for 199 yards, one touchdown and one interception.
