Purdy Back as 49ers Face Jaguars Without Nick Bosa

The San Francisco 49ers are expected to get quarterback Brock Purdy back for Sunday's Week 4 meeting with the Jacksonville Jaguars at Levi's Stadium, a development that arrives as the 49ers cope without All-Pro defensive end Nick Bosa following a season-ending knee injury. Head coach Kyle Shanahan said he expected Purdy to resume practice this week and be evaluated daily, and later reports indicated Purdy practiced all week and entered the game without an injury designation. The game kicks off at 4:05 p.m. Eastern.

Shanahan said Purdy "looked good" in practice and added, "He got to do a lot more than last week and each day he got a lot better." Purdy, who missed the past two games with a turf-toe injury, told reporters his toe had "healed up" and that he felt ready to return after limited work in recent weeks. Backup Mac Jones started the last two games and helped preserve San Francisco's unbeaten start, completing 66.3 percent of his passes with four touchdowns and one interception, according to Pro Football Focus.
