ByIn a major boost to the San Francisco 49ers, quarterback Brock Purdy has been officially cleared to start against the Buffalo Bills on Sunday night.
Purdy suffered an oblique injury in the 49ers' Week 13 victory over the Miami Dolphins. The injury kept him out of the team's next game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and there were concerns about his availability for the playoffs.
However, Purdy has made a remarkable recovery over the past two weeks. He returned to practice on a limited basis last week, and he participated in full practice on Wednesday and Thursday.
Purdy's return is a huge boost for the 49ers' offense. The rookie quarterback has been a revelation for San Francisco, leading the team to a 5-0 record as a starter. He has thrown for 1,085 yards, 10 touchdowns, and four interceptions.
Purdy's mobility and quick release are a perfect fit for the 49ers' offense. He is also an accurate passer with a good arm.
With Purdy back under center, the 49ers are one of the most dangerous teams in the NFC. They have a strong running game led by Christian McCaffrey and Elijah Mitchell, and they have a talented receiving corps headlined by Deebo Samuel and Brandon Aiyuk.
The 49ers will face their toughest test to date against the Bills, who are the favorite to win the Super Bowl. However, Purdy and the 49ers are confident that they can pull off the upset.
It is difficult to predict how Purdy will perform in his first playoff game. However, he has shown a lot of poise and maturity during his limited time as a starter.
If Purdy can play with the same confidence and accuracy that he has shown in his previous starts, the 49ers have a good chance of winning on Sunday night.
Brock Purdy is officially active for the 49ers' playoff game against the Bills. His return is a major boost for the 49ers' offense, and he should be able to lead the team to a victory.
Here are some additional takeaways from the 49ers' injury news:
- The 49ers are relatively healthy heading into the playoffs.
- Purdy's return is a huge boost to the team's morale.
- The 49ers are confident that they can defeat the Bills and advance to the NFC Championship Game.
