San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy delivered an encouraging toe injury update this week, saying it “feels really good” as the team comes out of its late-season bye and prepares to host the Tennessee Titans on December 14.
Purdy has been managing a lingering toe issue and didn’t shy away from how much it has mattered to his season. He acknowledged at his latest press conference that when he’s moving and warmed up in-game, his focus flips to simply playing ball — including escaping and “busting” to the edge on keepers — rather than thinking about the toe.
Brock Purdy Says Toe Is Finally in a “Really Good” Spot
Purdy explained that the injury impacts “everything” for a quarterback, especially the ability to drive off the plant foot and generate power consistently. That’s why he’s been tracking how close he feels to “myself again,” mechanically and physically.
The 49ers’ bye appeared to be a welcome reset for him. Purdy said the past week helped him feel “fresh,” and he framed the final stretch as a chance to keep building while sharpening details like accuracy and situational football.
He also pointed to lessons from earlier moments this season, noting there have been spots where he believes he can be more consistent “mechanically” and with ball placement — the kind of self-scout that often shows up when teams are entering the playoff push.
What It Means for the 49ers vs. the Titans
For San Francisco, the biggest takeaway is straightforward: a healthier Purdy could mean more comfort in the parts of the offense that ask him to move — bootlegs, sprint-outs, and the off-script plays where he has to plant, cut, and throw with defenders closing.
That matters with the calendar tightening. The 49ers entered Week 15 at 9-4, while Tennessee came in at 2-11, making this a game San Francisco will expect to handle at home as it tries to improve positioning in the NFC race.
Purdy, though, kept his focus on the opponent and the week. He said the team respects the Titans defense and emphasized execution and points as the goal Sunday.
Purdy’s Self-Scout: Accuracy, Situational Ball, and Throwaways
One of the more telling parts of Purdy’s session was how he described the mental tightrope quarterbacks walk: when to stay aggressive and when to throw the ball away.
Purdy said he’s had aggressive decisions “work out” and others “cost us,” and he framed that balance as part of what makes playing quarterback challenging — and fun. He also referenced valuing smart football like protecting the ball and staying on the field.
Another small but very “Purdy” detail: he said Friday is his favorite day of a game week because the full game plan is in place — first down, second down, third down, red zone — and it helps him see the “big picture” before dialing into specifics.
