The San Francisco 49ers can now seemingly rest easy on having any worries about their starting quarterback not being ready for week one.
In what was a nightmare situation last season, the Niners lost three starting quarterbacks to serious injuries, with Jimmy Garoppolo, Trey Lance and Brock Purdy all being ruled out at key times in the 2022 campaign.
The latter's injury had been the most devastating, with their unlikely hero Purdy suffering an elbow injury early in the NFC Championship game, which saw them go on to lose to the Philadelphia Eagles.
