Brock Purdy is confirmed to play tonight for the San Francisco 49ers in their Week 12 Monday Night Football game against the Carolina Panthers. He will start as quarterback, with Mac Jones serving as his backup. Purdy has recovered from injury and returned in Week 11, leading the 49ers to a 41-22 victory over the Arizona Cardinals, completing 19 of 26 passes for 200 yards and three touchdowns, including two to tight end George Kittle and one to Christian McCaffrey. The 49ers' quarterback depth chart has improved significantly after a season of injuries, providing a strong offensive option for the team, especially with McCaffrey facing his former team, the Panthers. Purdy's comeback is seen as a positive development for the 49ers, who have invested heavily in him this offseason.
