San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy has only played two games this season due to turf toe but has a chance to return this weekend when his team faces the New York Giants on the road. Purdy was last seen on September 28. Mac Jones has taken over as the starter since then. 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan expressed optimism on Monday that Purdy would be back on the field on Sunday. Purdy’s participation was limited on Wednesday. Purdy originally injured his toe during Week 1, but returned for Week 4. He then aggravated the injury again in Week 4. What does Purdy have to do to be able to return to play? Shanahan said confidence. “If I get out there and he is hobbling and all that, he wont be there. [on Sunday]. “It’s difficult to tell what is wrong with his toe. He has to go and do the exercises and let us know.” Shanahan said to reporters. “They’re very iffy things.” We thought he looked good and felt good during practice, but then a single hit in the game set him back by five to six weeks.

Purdy signed a 5-year, $265-million extension in May. Shanahan said it is not always easy to predict a setback.
Shanahan explained that the situation was sensitive. “Hopefully, getting reps and other stuff in practice will give him confidence that he’s better this time than last time,” he said. Shanahan joked that he didn’t set a deadline for Purdy to let them know if he felt good enough to play by the end the week.The coach said, “It isn’t as black and gray as you all want it be.”
Jones was fully active in practice on Wednesday despite a knee injury. Purdy may not be able to start, but Jones will.
