The San Francisco 49ers injury list has a few notable changes on it from last week headed into their matchup against the Buffalo Bills on Sunday.
On Friday, head coach Kyle Shanahan listed QB1 Brock Purdy as questionable headed into the weekend after practicing in full on Friday. The upgraded participation for San Francisco's starting quarterback is a good sign for his availability in Week 13.
"It was good. It was great to get him back out there," Shanahan said regarding Purdy's practice participation over the last couple days. "He was able to go fully (Friday), so it was a good day."
Additionally, cornerback Charvarius Ward is primed to return after sitting out the last three games due to personal reasons. Having him back in the lineup should provide a boost to a 49ers secondary that will be missing defensive back Deommodore Lenoir, who has been ruled out with a knee injury. Lenoir is one of a slew of starters including LT Trent Williams, DL Nick Bosa, DL Jordan Elliott, OL Aaron Banks and LB Dre Greenlaw (on Reserve/Physically Unable to Perform list) that will be sidelined for Sunday's game.
Below is the complete Week 13 Game Status Report for Friday:
- QB Brock Purdy (right shoulder) - Questionable
- LB Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles (knee) - Questionable
- WR Chris Conley (knee) - Questionable
