After a slight delay until the swelling in the elbow subsided, Brock Purdy underwent a procedure to repair the tear on March 10. Since then, Purdy has been closely monitored. He began a pitching program in late May and was cleared by medical staff for him and the Niners to return to practice on July 25.
At that time, the general manager John Lynch He said Purdy could practice without limitations, but the second-year quarterback would follow a plan that requires him to practice only two days out of three. Shanahan said the hope was that Purdy could lose the required day off after two weeks. This week is just a few days after that benchmark.
throughout the camp, Brock Purdy he’s done all the reps with the starting offense on the days he’s practiced. Since the league meetings in March, Lynch and Shanahan have insisted that Purdy start as long as he’s healthy. Purdy seems to still be on his way to doing just that, noticing last week that his arm feels good.
“In terms of my arm and everything, yeah, my arm feels great,” Purdy responded. “I’m still looking for back-to-back days and trying to get as much strength as I can get back in the rehab process and I’m feeling really confident.”
In other Niners injury news, the tight end is not expected to George Kittle (adductor) come back this week, but Kyle Shanahan he said the team expects him to return next week. However, San Francisco expect defensive ends Drake Jackson y Robert Beal Jr., defensive tackle Kalia Davisthe linebacker Dre Greenlawthe receptor Danny Gray and the corridor Elijah Mitchell Get back to training this week.
It is not expected that the deep George Odum (shoulder), linebacker Oren Burks (knee) and receiver Ray-Ray McCloud (wrist) return in the preseason, though Shanahan said the hope is that Odum and Burks are ready for Week 1 and McCloud has insisted he shouldn’t be ruled out either.
“I think Ray-Ray would be the one that probably won’t work that way,” Shanahan agreed. “The other two have more hope than Ray-Ray, but as Ray-Ray keeps telling me: don’t write it off.”
