Brock Purdy is on schedule to make an early-season return for the 49ers. The quarterback started throwing this week for the first time since getting surgery to repair his injured elbow from the NFC Championship game.
On the latest episode of 49ers Web Zone's "No Huddle" podcast, hosts Zain Naqvi and Al Sacco discuss how the team is poised to succeed under center this season.
"This to me is a huge sigh of relief," Naqvi said. "We were talking about maybe four weeks, six weeks we didn't know how much time he'd miss in the regular season. If we're just talking about a week or two, that's something you can just skirt by -- regardless if (Sam) Darnold or Trey (Lance) -- you can skirt by for a game or two."
