Brock Purdy took part in the 49ers’ practice Friday but it remains to be seen whether he’ll get cleared for Sunday’s game against the Cincinnati Bengals at Levi’s Stadium.
San Francisco 49ers quarterback Sam Darnold hugs teammate quarterback Brock Purdy before the start of their pre-season game against the Los Angeles Chargers at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif., on Friday, Aug. 25, 2023. SANTA CLARA — Brock Purdy is responding well enough to practice Friday for a second consecutive day, but that does not guarantee he’ll be medically cleared from the NFL’s concussion protocol to play in the 49ers’ home game Sunday against the Bengals.
Purdy played throughout Monday night’s 22-17 loss at Minnesota, then experienced concussion-like symptoms on the flight home and, thus, entered the NFL’s concussion. He progressed enough to be on the field for Wednesday’s offense-only work , and, on Thursday, he led quarterbacks through practice in which he was listed as being limited.
When it comes to Darnold’s capabilities, there is a groundswell of confidence from both inside the organization and outside observers that he could be a capable fill-in for Purdy, who’s otherwise entrenched as the starter. John Lynch, the 49ers’ general manager, said Friday on KNBR 680-AM that Darnold is “a great fit for what we do.”
“if Sam plays, I think there’s a lot of confidence that, well, maybe one game is not enough to show that or maybe things go haywire, but if he had 10 games, I think you would say, `Steve, you’re right.’ And he is getting more help and he is capable of more than I thought,” Young said on KNBR 680-AM. “What that ceiling is, I don’t know. But we talk about big, strong guys running around throwing it all over the field; he can be that guy.
