San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy is sacked by Minnesota Vikings linebacker Danielle Hunter during the second half of an NFL football game, Monday, Oct. 23, 2023, in Minneapolis. SANTA CLARA — Brock Purdy went through his normal routine as Thursday’s practice began, signaling that the 49ers’ quarterback is back on track to start Sunday against the Bengals, unless post-concussion symptoms resurface.
The 49ers, who’ve lost two in a row after a 5-0 start, kept Purdy out of Wednesday’s official practice, but he was healthy enough to partake in an earlier walk-through session. Purdy reported effects from a potential concussion while on the flight home from Monday night’s 22-17 loss at Minnesota.Here is how the 49ers’ practice began at just after 1 p.m. Thursday: Purdy jogged over with Darnold and No.
Purdy is officially 10-2 all-time in regular-season starts, having lost the past two at Cleveland and at Minnesota while throwing his first three interceptions of the season. He’s taken every meaningful snap as the 49ers’ quarterback since Jimmy Garoppolo got hurt in the first quarter of a Dec. 4 home win against the Miami Dolphins.
Purdy’s apparent concussion Monday night was the result of a helmet-to-helmet hit by Vikings’ linebacker Jordan Hicks that stopped Purdy for no gain on a third-and-1 sneak. Purdy converted on a fourth-down dive the next snap, then promptly threw an interception with 5 1/2 minutes to go; another interception followed on the 49ers’ next and final possession, with 25 seconds remaining to seal the 49ers’ seventh losing visit to Minnesota.
