The Pittsburgh Steelers know their Week 1 opponent will be the San Francisco 49ers, but they don’t know what quarterback they’ll be facing in Week 1. While Brock Purdy, last year’s Mr. Irrelevant who led San Francisco to the NFC Title game in relief on the injured Trey Lance and Jimmy Garoppolo, would start if he’s healthy, Purdy got injured in that game and his status for Week 1 is unclear. Appearing on the Pat McAfee Show, ESPN insider Adam Schefter said that the 49ers are optimistic that Purdy will be ready for Week 1.
