49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan spoke after OTAs Tuesday. Shanahan said he’s optimistic that Brock Purdy will be ready to play Week 1: “We’re hoping for Week 1. I feel pretty optimistic about that. Usually, that means that’s not the day he comes back to practice. He’d come back before that.”
Shanahan acknowledged that there’s no timeline set for Purdy’s return, but added they “don’t have any reason to think otherwise” at the moment, which is great news for the 49ers and Purdy.
He’ll begin his throwing program at some point next week. That doesn’t mean Purdy will be launching 50-yarders, but he’ll begin gripping a football and throwing roughly five or so yards.
