Latest 49ers QB news

It looks like the San Francisco 49ers may get their quarterback back under center in time for a Week 13 game against the Buffalo Bills.

QB Brock Purdy injured his shoulder in Week 11 against the Seattle Seahawks and missed the team’s blowout loss in Week 12 against the Green Bay Packers.

Brock Purdy injury update

Purdy was limited in Week 12 and was ultimately ruled out on Friday’s injury report. That changed in Week 13, where he had limited participation on Wednesdays and Thursdays and then full participation on Fridays.

The 49ers have officially listed Purdy as questionable, but head coach Kyle Shanahan expressed optimism about the starting signal-caller’s chances of playing in Buffalo.

“Yeah. I mean, a lot can happen between now and then,” Shanahan said. “But right now he’s playing, so he’s fine. He had a good day.”

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported Saturday night that Purdy has suffered no setbacks and will play.

We’ll officially find out 90 minutes before kickoff scheduled for Sunday night at 5:20 p.m. Pacific time.

How long was Brock Purdy out?

Purdy has only missed one game, and even if he misses Week 13, it doesn’t sound like his status is in jeopardy much beyond this week.

If Purdy can’t go, it would be Brandon Allen as the starter and Josh Dobbs as the backup QB. Allen started in Green Bay and completed 17 of 29 throws for 199 yards, one touchdown and one interception.
