The San Francisco 49ers are preparing for their Week 8 contest against the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California.
Quarterback Brock Purdy returned to practice, albeit as a limited participant. He remains in the concussion protocol, creating uncertainty regarding his availability for this weekend's game. Nevertheless, his presence on the practice field is an encouraging sign.
