Brock Purdy, the starting quarterback for the San Francisco 49ers, is dealing with a shoulder injury sustained in Week 11 against the Seattle Seahawks. He missed the Week 12 game against the Green Bay Packers, but reports suggest he may not be out for the entire season.

While Purdy's status for the upcoming game against the Buffalo Bills remains uncertain, he practiced earlier in the week, indicating a potential return. In his absence, backup Brandon Allen struggled, raising concerns about the team's quarterback depth.
