Brock Purdy talks about the “fine line” between being smart and letting the ball fly, and why he needs to grow and learn from the Ravens loss.
SANTA CLARA — Brock Purdy getting two stingers in two weeks isn’t a fluke.
The second-year pro learned that the two injuries are linked after the 49ers’ 33-19 loss to the Baltimore Ravens on Monday night at Levi’s Stadium.
“I didn’t really know it was a thing until I got it against the Ravens again, and it sort of got explained,” the quarterback said Thursday. “I guess the nerve is a little more susceptible to stinging again. With treatment, some time and recovery, you can obviously get it to go down and be good to go,
“I was fine the whole game, and that one sack, I landed on it just right for it to go off, but my feeling and everything came back. Just part of the game.”
Purdy said he has received a significant amount of treatment in his shoulder and trapezius area to work out the soreness, but he confirmed that he is good to go for Sunday’s Week 17 road matchup with the Washington Commanders.
The 49ers still are dealing with several injuries, perhaps most notably on the offensive line. Both left guard Aaron Banks (toe) and swing tackle Jaylon Moore (concussion) remained out of practice Thursday, but left tackle Trent Williams, who was listed as limited Wednesday, was seen in the early portion of the session.
The receivers group still is dealing with very little depth, as Jauan Jennings remains in the NFL’s concussion protocol and hasn’t returned in even a limited capacity. Ray-Ray McCloud (ribs) remains on injured reserve but is eligible to return in Week 18 against the Los Angeles Rams.
