San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy's recovery from multiple injuries is going better than expected, and the signal-caller could start next week against the Jacksonville Jaguars, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
Purdy is dealing with turf toe and a left shoulder injury. He suffered both ailments in the season opener and was a limited participant in practice this week after not participating in any sessions leading up to Week 2. San Francisco initially listed Purdy as questionable for Sunday's game, but he was later ruled out.
The 25-year-old missed two contests last season due to injuries. He's 24-13 as the 49ers' starting quarterback after being selected with the last pick in the 2022 NFL Draft. Purdy signed a five-year, $265-million extension this offseason, making him tied for the seventh highest-paid quarterback in the league.
