Brock Purdy, San Francisco Forty-Niners quarterback, is set to return this Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals, following a right big toe injury that sidelined him since Week Four. Purdy, who was a limited participant in practice earlier in the week, became a full participant by Thursday, indicating significant progress. He confirmed his readiness to play, and head coach Kyle Shanahan also indicated his return. Purdy initially injured his toe in Week One, missed two games, and then aggravated it in Week Four. He clarified that surgery was never a serious option, and the team kept him off injured reserve to allow him to practice and test the toes response. Meanwhile, backup quarterback Mac Jones stepped up admirably, keeping the team competitive in the playoff picture. Purdy expressed his appreciation for Jones, acknowledging his crucial role in keeping the teams momentum going.
