49ers Quarterback Brock Purdy Expected to Return by Week 11 Against Cardinals

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy, who has been sidelined for the past seven weeks with a turf toe injury, is listed as questionable for the team's Week 10 matchup against the Los Angeles Rams. According to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler and confirmed by GM John Lynch, if Purdy does not play this Sunday, he is "definitely" expected to return for the Week 11 game against the Cardinals in his home state of Arizona. While Mac Jones will start in Week 10, Purdy could serve as the backup as a final step in his recovery before fully resuming his QB1 responsibilities. The injury was initially sustained in Week 1 and reaggravated in Week 4.
