San Francisco 49ers rookie quarterback Brock Purdy is expected to make his second career NFL start in Thursday’s road game against the Seattle Seahawks, ESPN reported.

Purdy was a limited participant in practice all week and is listed as questionable with rib and oblique injuries. He sustained the injuries during the 49ers’ 35-7 romp over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday.

Purdy completed 16 of 21 passes for 185 yards and two touchdowns versus the Buccaneers. He also rushed for a score for San Francisco (9-4), which could clinch the NFC West title with a win over Seattle (7-6) on Thursday night.

Purdy, 22, was selected with the last overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft to earn the title of “Mr. Irrelevant.”
