Biography Flash: Brock Purdy Nears Return as Mac Jones Starts vs Rams While Baby Millie Steals Hearts

Brock Purdy Biography Flash a weekly Biography.

The story of Brock Purdy over the past few days has been as much about return and recovery as it has been about waiting and speculation. According to The SF Standard and David Lombardi, Purdy has shown significant progress in his comeback from the turf toe injury that’s kept him sidelined since week one. Throughout this week’s practices in Santa Clara, Purdy was moving with noticeably more confidence, ramping up his throwing and mobility like never before since the injury. The 49ers staff, including coach Kyle Shanahan, spent Friday evaluating whether Purdy should suit up as the backup for this weekend’s huge showdown against the Los Angeles Rams, a move that would put him just one play away from being back in action.

San Francisco has been extra cautious, seeing as Purdy likely won’t be fully healed this season, but there’s real optimism—he’s considered to be approaching full strength, especially with a team-friendly stretch of five consecutive games on natural grass, sparing the injury the pounding of artificial turf. Saturday features a critical meeting with Shanahan to determine Purdy’s active status, a much more hopeful sign than previous weeks. This morning, ESPN’s Tim Kawakami speculated that if Purdy is active Sunday, it signals plans for him to start the following week against the Arizona Cardinals, a potentially pivotal moment in both Purdy’s season and the Niners’ playoff ambitions.

Meanwhile, CT Insider confirms that Mac Jones will get the nod as starter against the Rams, making this Purdy’s sixth straight missed start since his injury. However, his potential to dress as the number two quarterback—for the first time during this rehab—could mark the beginning of his on-field return, showing just how valuable his presence remains despite Mac Jones’ strong interim play.

Off the field, Brock’s home life has become a heartwarming subplot. Sports Illustrated shares that while Purdy has battled adversity on the gridiron, he and wife Jenna have kept spirits high with their baby daughter Millie. Jenna’s social media update this Thursday showing Millie doing “pilates” brought some lighthearted joy to 49ers fans, with Millie becoming a mini-celebrity in her own right—especially as she continues to show up at practices in adorable custom football outfits.

From a business perspective, Purdy remains secure after signing a $265 million contract extension earlier this year, solidifying his long-term place as the Niners’ franchise quarterback as soon as he’s physically ready to lead. On social media, fans buzzed with encouragement and anticipation, both about his potential backup status this weekend and his family’s off-field moments.
