49ers camp: Does Brock Purdy’s milestone shelve him for Saturday game?

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 14:12:36 GMT

SANTA CLARA — Wide receiver Jauan Jennings knew exactly how to describe Brock Purdy after a milestone in the quarterback’s comeback from elbow surgery.“Brock-star. We love him out there,” Jennings said Thursday.Purdy was out there practicing three consecutive days this week for the first time since his March 10 surgery, keeping him firmly on track to start the 49ers’ regular-season opener Sept. 10 at the Pittsburgh Steelers.When it comes to preseason football, however, the 49ers love Purdy out of danger and over on the sideline. He’s not expected to play in Saturday’s preseason game against the Denver Broncos at Levi’s Stadium, after he and every other would-be starter sat out Sunday’s 34-7 loss at the Las Vegas Raiders.Sam Darnold could get the start if coach Kyle Shanahan opts not to give Trey Lance a mulligan after his shaky outing against the Raiders.Purdy certainly got the most work in Thursday’s brisk practice.

The map is from Hope and Heal Fund, a violence prevention nonprofit formed in the wake of the mass shootings in San Bernardino in 2015.Refujio “Cuco” Rodriguez-Rodriguez, the nonprofit’s Chief Strategist and Equity Officer, recalls people asserting that homicides in Los Angeles were driving the state’s homicide rate, and thinking “Where’s that data point? where are you getting that?”Now, after years of research and mapping, he has an answer, and it confirmed his hypothesis. One of the group’s main findings is that “rural counties are disproportionately impacted by gun violence.”The research shows that some counties in the Central Valley, an...

Garbers is in his third season with the program after transferring from Washington in 2021.The redshirt junior has seen action in 11 games over the past two years. Garbers came in late during last year’s Sun Bowl against Pitt and led the Bruins on an eight-play, 70-yard TD drive that gave the Bruins a 35-34 lead with 34 seconds re...
