  • Klay Kubiak said Purdy delivered one of his better practice weeks in the ramp-up, with arm strength where the team needs it.
  • Ricky Pearsall returned to practice after a PCL injury and is expected to be available, with any snap limits still undecided.
  • Mac Jones went 3–3 over the six starts during Purdy’s absence and is 5–3 this season with 2,151 yards, 13 touchdowns and six interceptions.
