After returning to the field for his first live playing time since suffering an injury in the NFC Championship against the Philadelphia Eagles, Brock Purdy appeared to show no signs of rust in the preseason against the Denver Broncos.
The sophomore passer got going quickly against Broncos, finding Deebo Samuel for an easy completion. After connecting with Samuel on a rollout pass, Purdy let the Pro Bowl wide receiver go to work.
After snagging the pass in the flat, Samuel scurried for a 25-yard pickup to open the preseason contest against the Broncos.
