Brock Purdy has seized control of the 49ers’ starting role, winning all seven games since Garoppolo’s first-series exit against Miami.
Quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo was ruled out for a seventh straight game Friday, but he was spotted leaving, where he was cleared to return this week for conditioning and “to walk a bit,” Shanahan said.
As for potential Super Bowl availability, Shanahan said he thinks there would be “a better chance” then, without vowing a spot in that Feb. 12 championship game. The 49ers have not publicly declared Purdy the starter for next season, nor would they amid a playoff run, but the rookie phenom has done nothing to make anyone think otherwise. Reflecting on Purdy’s relief role against Miami and his first start against Tampa Bay, Shanahan said Friday: “We all quickly forgot he was a rookie.”
