While Sam Darnold continues to take first-team practice reps, seeing Purdy on the field during the media-accessible portion is encouraging. The team hopes Purdy can clear the concussion protocol before Sunday's Week 8 matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals.
"He does have enough time [to clear the protocol]," Shanahan said on Wednesday. "He's just got to go through the process."
Later today, the 49ers will release their official practice participation report, detailing how much on-field work Purdy could do.
The bad news is that tackle Trent Williams was nowhere to be seen. The 49ers had hoped the offensive lineman would return to practice today.
