Brock Purdy Practices In Full Wednesday

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy (shoulder) was a full participant in the team's first practice of the week on Wednesday.

Deebo Samuel Dealing With Sprained Neck

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel (neck) is dealing with a sprained neck and was limited in the team's first practice on Wednesday.
