Purdy Returns as 49ers Prepare for Snowbound Showdown with Bills
Brock Purdy is set to reclaim his position under center for the San Francisco 49ers in their highly anticipated “Sunday Night Football” clash against the Buffalo Bills. Purdy’s return provides a significant boost for the 49ers, who will be facing a formidable Bills squad in what promises to be a snowy and chilly battle in the Bay Area.
The second-year quarterback had missed Week 12 due to a shoulder injury sustained against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 11. While initially listed as questionable, Purdy’s full participation in Friday’s practice fueled optimism. Speaking confidently that day, he expressed unwavering belief in his ability to execute San Francisco’s offensive game plan.
“If I’m out there playing, which is the plan, then I’ll be able to make every throw that we have drawn up,” Purdy said. “I wouldn’t go out there and play not at 100 percent. I want to go out there feeling really good and have the confidence to make every throw, so that’s the plan.”
Offensive Line Shuffle Presents a Challenge
While Purdy’s return is a positive development, the 49ers’ offensive line will face a significant challenge, as two starters on the left side are ruled out. Star tackle Trent Williams (ankle) and guard Aaron Banks (concussion) will both miss the Bills game, forcing some strategic adjustments.
Ben Bartch and Jaylon Moore will step into the starting lineup in their place. Both players are capable backups willing to fill in when needed, but replacing seasoned veterans like Williams and Banks, who anchor the 49ers’ offensive line, will undoubtedly be a test.
49ers Inactives vs. Bills:
