Brock Purdy, the quarterback for the San Francisco 49ers, has returned to practice after being placed in concussion protocol. The 49ers announced earlier this week that Purdy was in concussion protocol, making his status for the upcoming game against the Cincinnati Bengals uncertain. However, recent reports indicate that Purdy has returned to practice, suggesting a potential return to the field. Despite this, the 49ers have not yet confirmed whether Purdy will play in the Week 8 game. The decision will likely depend on Purdy's progress in the concussion protocol and his performance in practice. Concussion protocols in the NFL are designed to ensure player safety, requiring a player to pass a series of tests before they can return to play. The 49ers are expected to provide further updates on Purdy's status in the coming days.
