It will be the first time that Purdy has played since Sept. 28, when he aggravated a turf toe injury during a loss to the Jaguars.
Purdy has been progressing toward a return, and Shanahan shot down the idea of any sort of controversy brewing.
Mac Jones has started in Purdy’s place, but Shanahan made it clear who would be QB1 when Purdy was back in the fold when he spoke with reporters on Wednesday.
“It’s not a hard decision,” Shanahan said. “It’s just more about Brock’s health. It’s been awesome how Mac’s played. He’s been great, but we got a lot of confidence in Brock, and we know Brock will play at a high level, too, as long as he’s healthy.”
During two games this season, Purdy completed 48 passes for 586 yards and four touchdowns, while also throwing four interceptions.

He threw for 319 yards and three touchdowns in their 42-26 loss to the Rams last weekend.
The 49ers are in the middle of a three-way battle for the lead in the NFC West, with the Seahawks and Rams sitting ahead of them with 7-2 records.
