ORCHARD PARK, NY – San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy will start Sunday night’s highly anticipated showdown against the Buffalo Bills, despite a lingering shoulder injury. Purdy, who missed the team’s Week 12 game due to the injury sustained against the Seattle Seahawks, declared himself fully fit after a full Friday practice. “If I’m out there playing, which is the plan, then I’ll be able to make every throw,” Purdy stated confidently. “I wouldn’t go out there and play not at 100 percent.”

However, the 49ers will face the Bills short-handed on the offensive line. Starting left tackle Trent Williams (ankle) and guard Aaron Banks (concussion) are both ruled out, with Ben Bartch and Jaylon Moore filling in respectively. The news comes amid a season marked by injuries to key players for San Francisco. While the article notes several players’ absences throughout the season, the focus remains on Purdy’s return and the impact of the offensive line changes on the game.
