The San Francisco 49ers believe Brock Purdy will return next Sunday for their huge game against Buffalo Bills.
The quarterback is out of Sunday’s game against Green Bay Packers with shoulder soreness as the 49ers, who are 5-5, fight to make the postseason.
They face the Packers tied second in the NFC West alongside Seattle Seahawks and Los Angeles Rams, meaning Purdy’s absence comes at a terrible time for last season’s Super Bowl runners-up.
According to Adam Schefter on Sunday morning, San Francisco believe Purdy will return next week and there is ‘not a high level of concern’.
That said, Schefter added that the 49ers also expected Purdy to play against the Packers and now isn’t, so it is clearly a fluid situation.
Next week, the 49ers face the Buffalo Bills, meaning Purdy’s potential return would be a massive boost.
