The San Francisco 49ers didn't play Brock Purdy much Saturday night, but that didn't matter. Just seeing him back in the lineup was another milestone to check off the list before the regular season as he comes back from elbow surgery.
Purdy played his first snaps of the preseason against the Denver Broncos and looked like, well, Purdy from his fantastic run late last season.
Purdy got the ball to his playmakers and let them work. That included a 25-yard gain to Deebo Samuel.
That's all the 49ers want Purdy to do.
