Niners' Purdy happy with progress, says 'we'll see' for Week 3 - ESPN

SANTA CLARA, Calif. — San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy isn't sure if he will play Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals, but he made it clear Thursday that the decision will come much closer to kickoff than it did before last week's game against New Orleans.

"[We've] just got to see come game time how I feel," Purdy said. «I want to play every game. I want to be out there.

Not only did Purdy participate Thursday, but he also spoke about his injury for the first time after that session was completed, offering a brief glimpse into how it came about as well as how he's feeling.

According to Purdy, the left shoulder injury that bothered him coming out of that Seattle game is no longer an issue, but it's the toe that needs to be fully resolved before he can return. That ailment kept Purdy out against the Saints in Week 2, but he has made enough progress since then that it's possible he could play in Sunday's home opener.

On Sept. 8, the day after the 49ers defeated Seattle, Purdy's addition to the injury report came as a surprise when coach Kyle Shanahan mentioned
