49ers' Brock Purdy: Practice restrictions lifted
Purdy (elbow) will no longer require scheduled off days during weekly practices as he gears up to start the Sept. 10 regular-season opener versus the Steelers, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
The second-year quarterback looks as though he'll ramp up his physical activity just in time for Week 1, which falls within the time frame the 49ers originally provided for his recovery from elbow surgery. Coach Kyle Shanahan even mentioned Monday that Purdy could play in one of the 49ers' final two preseason games, the first of which comes against the Broncos on Saturday. Seeing him enter an exhibition game would ease any health concerns fantasy managers may have for the 23-year-old heading into draft season. Purdy returns to a 49ers offense with explosive weapons both in the backfield and in the passing game.
