Looks like Purdy is no longer wearing that brace!

Visualization and film study are also key routes to improvement as Purdy awaits physical clearance. He reflects on the strides he made as a rapidly rising rookie, gaining confidence in calling the base plays, formations and motions that constitute head coach Kyle Shanahan's offensive system. Purdy needed to adjust quickly from shotgun-based snaps in college to working under center as a pro.
"You're doing 7-step play-action drops, and you have to get your eyes back around the field and see a safety driving a deep over," Purdy said. "Kyle's been running this offense forever now. He's had all these coaches go other places around the NFL, but it's his offense. So to be able to learn from him and run those kind of concepts at first was difficult.
"Over a while, with all the preparation, it's finally starting to make sense. And I'm excited to just build off that."
He appreciated recent endorsements from 49ers brass including general manager John Lynch, who said Purdy "earned the right" to start, or at least defend his starter role once healthy. But until more clarity comes on his return, Purdy emphasizes "there's a lot of work to be done" across the team and "I don't want to make it more than what it is."
