Keep in mind he is only four practices into a massive comeback. He looked sharp, controlled and Purdy-esque. He completed 8-of-11 passes, finishing with red-zone touchdown strikes to Deebo Samuel and Jauan Jennings. He also connected earlier in practice with Brandon Aiyuk twice, Samuel twice more, and George Kittle, so he obviously is tapping into first-team talent since seizing every single first-team rep upon his camp debut in practices last Thursday.“Just watching him on film in playoffs and watching now, it looks like he’s throwing the ball the same. It’s good for him and his confidence,” cornerback Isaiah Oliver said. “It takes an extra step or two coming back from injury. I’ve talked to him about it. As long as he’s confident and it doesn’t hurt, he’s going to be...
