49ers-Bengals Inactives: Brock Purdy good to go

Brock Purdy is active.

Despite entering the concussion protocol after taking a hit to the head on Monday night, Purdy progressed through the protocol quickly this week and is active for Sunday’s matchup with the Bengals.

It’s a major boon for a 49ers team is reeling and the second time this season that a 49ers player has progressed through the protocol within a week (OL Jon Feliciano) in order to play the same week.

They do, however, have two major absences. Here’s the 49ers inactive list:

  • T Trent Williams (ankle)
  • WR Deebo Samuel (shoulder)
  • QB Brandon Allen (third qb)
  • TE Brayden Willis
  • RB Ty Davis-Price
  • LB Jalen Graham
  • DL Kalia Davis

For the Bengals, running back Chase Brown was placed on injured reserve this week, but it’s a tiny list of inactives:

  • LB Akeem Davis-Gaither (knee)
  • CB D.J. Ivey
  • C Trey Hill
  • T Jackson Carman

Williams’ absence is not a surprise for the 49ers, nor is Deebo Samuel’s. Samuel has been dealing with a hairline fracture in his shoulder that needs to heal before he can bet back on the field.

Both players should have a decent chance to return after the 49ers’ upcoming bye.

 

Win!
