The San Francisco 49ers listed quarterback Brock Purdy as questionable on the injury report for their Sunday matchup with the Cincinnati Bengals. He will "definitely" start if he passes evaluations, Kyle Shanahan told reporters Friday.
It's a somewhat unexpected development, considering Purdy entered concussion protocol Wednesday. He went under assessment after he began to show symptoms during the flight back to the Bay Area following the team's 22-17 loss to the Minnesota Vikings on Monday night.
The updated game status comes after the 23-year-old participated in his second consecutive practice. Purdy skipped official practice Wednesday but was able to be on the field for offense-only work. He then joined the quarterback group for limited participation during Thursday's practice.
He is expected to be cleared from the concussion program Saturday when he meets with an independent neurologist.
Wide receiver Deebo Samuel is ruled out for the upcoming game with a shoulder injury but Shanahan expects to see him back on the field in Week 10 following the team's bye week.
“He’s doing good,” Shanahan said of Samuel. “I mean, it’s a little fracture, hairline fracture in his shoulder, so we’ve got to wait for that to heal. But he’s healthy enough everywhere else, so he’s conditioned and working out, doing well, and hopefully that’ll be good after the bye week.”
Left tackle Trent Williams is listed is questionable as he continues to deal with an ankle injury. He did not play against the Vikings.
If Purdy's tests don't go as planned, he'll end a streak of 15 consecutive starts (including playoffs) and Sam Darnold will get the starting nod. Darnold joined the 49ers this past offseason after a two-year run with the Carolina Panthers. He threw for 1,143 yards last season, recording seven touchdowns and three interceptions in six games.
With San Francisco this year, Darnold has only made brief appearances in garbage time.

Daniel Weinman won the World Series of Poker's main event world championship on Monday in Las Vegas, earning $12.1 million along the way. Playing in the tournament for a 16th year, Weinman was tops in a deep pool of 10,043 players vying for $93.39 million. His victory came after just 164 hands at the final table. "I was honestly on the fence about even coming back and playing this tournament," the 35-year-old Atlanta native told reporters afterward. Weinman's final table featured Jan-Peter Jachtmann, who landed in fourth place and took home $3 million, as well as Toby Lewis, who finished seventh and secured $1.42 million. According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the main event's entry pool far outpaced the previous record of 8,773 set in 2006. "I've always kind of felt that poker was kind of going in a dying direction, but to see the numbers at the World Series this year has been incredible," Weinman said. "And to win this main event, it doesn't feel real. I mean, [there's] so much luck in a poker tournament. I thought I played very well." Steven Jones finished second, securing $6.5 million. And Adam Walton settled for third and a $4 million prize.
