It sure sounds as if San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy will miss his fifth consecutive start as he recovers from the turf-toe injury suffered way back in Week 1 and then reaggravated during his second start of the year, Week 4, which has held him out ever since.
Purdy has been able to practice in recent weeks, but the weekly gameday injury reports since Week 4 have regularly listed QB1 as out, giving way to Mac Jones under center.
In the wake of what was one of Jones' poorer outings in Week 7 against the Houston Texans, there was hope Purdy would finally be able to return to action when the Niners again took to the road to face the scuffling New York Giants.
