San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan praised Brock Purdy in the quarterback's return Saturday night in a 21-20 victory over the Denver Broncos.

"I thought he did really good," Shanahan told reporters. "I mean, all the plays that he had, he made, and I don't think he had a bad one."

Purdy went 4-of-5 for 65 yards in his first action since suffering an elbow injury in last year's NFC title game.

The Niners got a 1st-and-goal at the 3-yard line during his lone drive, but a sack on second down proved costly.
