49ers' Brock Purdy: Chance to return Week 7
Share Video
Purdy (toe), who has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game at Tampa Bay, has "a chance" to play Week 7 against the Falcons, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Purdy will miss his second straight game -- and fourth so far this season -- this Sunday due to a lingering toe injury. The quarterback didn't practice at all this week, but he did do some work off to the side, so he appears to at least be making some progress toward a return. Nonetheless, Purdy's status remains up in the air for next week, though Schefter's report does provide some optimism about Purdy's ability to get back on the field. For as long as Purdy remains out, Mac Jones -- who is dealing with knee and oblique injuries but is expected to play this Sunday -- will likely remain San Francisco's starter behind center.
