SANTA CLARA — Brock Purdy made it look routine. He’d take a snap, step into a throw, and drag his right toe on an apparently pain-free follow-through during Thursday’s warmups.
Judging from the media’s 30-minute viewing period, plus his toe’s confirmed improvement, Purdy is poised to reclaim his 49ers’ quarterback throne after a two-game hiatus.
“It’s been good. I really like where I’m at in the progress, with it healing up, dropping back and throwing,” said Purdy, who remains limited in practice. “We’ll see. I’m taking it day by day still. But I feel a lot better.”
Purdy played through his turf-toe injury in the season-opening win at Seattle, then yielded to Mac Jones as the 49ers eeked out wins at New Orleans and last Sunday against Arizona.
“It’s not a secret. It’s been 2 ½ weeks,”
