The San Francisco 49ers will have starting quarterback Brock Purdy and wide receiver Ricky Pearsall back in the lineup for their game against the Arizona Cardinals. Purdy returns after missing several weeks with turf toe, while Pearsall is back from a right knee sprain that kept him out since week four.

Head coach Kyle Shanahan and players expressed relief and optimism about the return of these key offensive players, noting that the team’s scoring had dropped in their absence. With a 6-4 record and playoff hopes in sight, the 49ers are looking to boost their offensive production as they face a Cardinals team that has lost six of its last seven games.

and the San Francisco 49ers Friday practice shows something not seen in weeks. Starting QB Brock Purdy back and ready to take the reins. It's a relief for head coach Kyle Shanahan. Just having him back. Uh, no, it's a long, um, long wait for him. Um, just having these, you know, each week watching him getting better and better. Thought it was an awesome week for him. Just getting back to do what he does do what we do and do it aggressively. San Francisco's offense has been average points scored per game by about a touchdown without number 13 as starting signal caller. He's been sidelined with turf toe while the Niners yards per game has remained steady. The team has been less productive with points. A problem. Purdy is ready to tackle. I'm gonna do whatever it takes to help lead this team. Like I said, seven more games this year and make a playoff run and try to go achieve our goals. Wide receiver Ricky Persall also returns this week from a right knee sprain. That had him sidelined since week four. As far as like injuries that kept me away from football. I never had one college. It's my first one in the NFL. When you play a physical game like this, you you're always gonna have knickknacks and pains and stuff like that that you got to push through, you know, but when it when it's your knee, it's kind of a different deal. Number one is thumbs up for Sunday, bringing the offense closer to full strength for the first time in over a month. Happy those guys are, um, back healthy back to the point where they can play. So yeah, it always feels good when you get people back. You got number one back, you know, just makes us want to go out there and play even harder. You know, that's that's the guys, the brother, man, you know, whoever's back there, we're gonna go out there and play the heart, the hardest we can to have slavery back. It means a lot more attention to Rick helps me out tremendously with a six and four record and playoff fortunes beginning to take form. The Niners and the faithful hope of revived offense will lead them to more than the one point when they had the last time these two teams met in September. It's been a rough season, but I feel like the boys can make a make a run for it. You know, with everybody coming back healthy, I think we can. I think we have our weapons now. I think with pretty back in the lineup, it gives us a little bit more opportunity to see what we have. Cardinals have lost six of seven, including last week as the Niners also lost last week. Both teams are in desperate need of some good defense. This week, though, the Niners have their starting quarterback and starting wide receiver back on the field kickoff 105 in the desert on
