San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy is expected to return to the field on Sunday against the Buffalo Bills after recovering from a shoulder injury, head coach Kyle Shanahan told reporters Friday.
"Lots of things can happen between now and then, but right now he's playing," Shanahan said, per ESPN's Adam Schefter.
San Francisco's season has been beset by injury. Brandon Aiyuk is done for the year. Christian McCaffrey didn't play until November. George Kittle, Nick Bosa and Deebo Samuel, among others, battled knocks at points throughout the season. The list goes on.
Purdy joined that list on Nov.
