When the 49ers take on the Bengals on Sunday, it’s possible that their starting quarterback will be available.
Several sources on the scene indicate that Brock Purdy returned to practice on Thursday after missing the session on Wednesday due to concussion protocol.
Purdy’s involvement, however probably minimal, does not imply that he is exempt. But it’s a good indication because it implies that he is improving and might play in Week 8.
Following Monday night’s loss to the Vikings, Purdy started exhibiting concussion-like symptoms, head coach Kyle Shanahan informed reporters on Wednesday.
This season, Purdy has completed 68% of his throws for 1,668 yards, 11 touchdowns, and 3 interceptions.
In the event that Purdy is sidelined for Week 8, Sam Darnold will take his place.
