The Facts: Tuesday's announcement that Purdy was medically cleared to participate in the start of the team's training camp marked a significant step in his recovery from offseason elbow surgery, the first time he could take the field with his teammates. Though HC Kyle Shanahan did say that Purdy would have limits on the number of days he throws and the total number in each session, Purdy said Thursday that he has confidence in his health at this point, and feels no limitations in what he's able to do during practice. "I feel like I'm good enough to play 11-on-11 football," Purdy told reporters. "We talked about that when I got back here with Shanahan. Basically I told him, I'm like, I feel good enough and confident enough that if I got in an 11-on-11 situation, I could make every throw. So, that's the conversation that we had and they gave me the green light to go out there and go."

Diehards Line: Purdy's journey back from the elbow surgery he had in March has been well-documented, with fans and reporters alike watching anxiously as he hit every benchmark throughout the recovery process, from his first throwing session in June to his trip to Jacksonville to work with QB coach Will Hewlett. And now that he's finally reached the point of running drills with teammates at camp, Purdy says the extensive preparation and careful load management during his rehab has put him in this position to throw with only a few restrictions. "So, I've actually worked up to this point, throwing back-to-back days. You know, have a heavy day of throwing and the next day maybe tune it down a little bit. But I've worked up to get to this point to where my arm doesn't hurt or anything like that," Purdy said.
