Rushing him back into the season if he’s injured may not be wise, it seems like he could miss out on crucial pre-season activities like OTAs, minicamps, and training camp. It’s important to prioritize his health and development for the long term rather than risking further injury by rushing him back too soon.

The Niners’ recent moves, like keeping Trey Lance on the roster, signing Sam Darnold for experienced depth, and scouting quarterbacks in the draft, even though they may be taken early, indicate that they may be preparing for the possibility that Purdy may not play at all in 2023.
