Brock Purdy returned to practice Wednesday, taking the 49ers' first-team reps at quarterback with a goal of returning in Week 11 against the Arizona Cardinals. Wide receiver Ricky Pearsall, who, like Purdy, has been missing from San Francisco's starting lineup since Week 4, also returned to the practice field. On this episode of "49ers Talk," co-hosts Matt Maiocco and Jennifer Lee Chan discuss how the potential return of two impact players will help the 49ers' offense. Additionally, Matt and Jennifer look ahead to how the 49ers can solidify a playoff spot as they approach a pivotal stretch in their schedule. As far as depth is concerned, Matt and Jennifer debate the balance of player development during a postseason push and how to balance two very important pillars to the season.
