49ers QB Brock Purdy set to return vs. Jaguars
After two weeks of Mac Jones shouldering the load at the quarterback position, the San Francisco 49ers will get star signal-caller Brock Purdy back under center for Week 4’s matchup with the Jacksonville Jaguars.
According to Nick Wagoner of ESPN, Purdy is back in the fold for the 49ers after battling his toe injury.
The San Francisco 49ers will welcome quarterback Brock Purdy back to the starting lineup against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday.
Purdy, who has missed the past two games because of a toe injury, participated in practice all three days this week and does not have an injury designation going into Sunday, clearing the path for him to step back into his starting role against the Jaguars.
Purdy spoke to the media after the news surfaced that he was cleared to play with Jones heading back to the bench on Sunday.
“I really like where I’m at with the progress with it healing up and feeling better and dropping back, throwing,” Purdy said. “It’s no secret like it’s been two-and-a-half weeks or so. And just overall, my toe is healed up. It’s gotten better.”
Fortunately for the 49ers, the team was able to remain undefeated with Purdy on the mend. San Francisco sits atop the NFC West division standings, followed by the Seattle Seahawks (3-1), Los Angeles Rams (2-1) and Arizona Cardinals (2-2).
