49ers quarterback Brock Purdy struggled during last Sunday's game against the Buffalo Bills. Difficult weather conditions and his recent recovery from a shoulder injury likely contributed to his performance.
This week, Purdy has been a full participant in practice and is gearing up to make his second consecutive start. The 49ers will host the Chicago Bears on Sunday at Levi's Stadium.
Head coach Kyle Shanahan spoke with reporters on Friday, addressing how the quarterback has looked in his first full week of practice since the injury.
"He's good," Shanahan said. "We had to wait a while to give him rest to make sure it healed, and we could see that it did at the end of last week. That's why there were no issues last Sunday, and it's been great all week."
That's encouraging news for the 49ers as they fight to avoid playoff elimination during the final five games of the season.
Shanahan added, "So, glad to get him back to full speed, and get him a full week of practice."
Purdy has appeared in 11 games this season, completing 65.7 percent of his passes for 2,707 yards, with 13 touchdowns and eight interceptions. He hopes to close out the season on a strong note.
