SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- Barring a setback between now and then, Brock Purdy will step back into his role as the San Francisco 49ers starting quarterback on Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals .

Purdy, who has been out with a right big toe injury since a Week 4 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars , said Thursday that, assuming he gets through the next couple of days without any issues, he will start in Arizona. Niners coach Kyle Shanahan also confirmed Purdy's impending return in a taped weekly conversation with NBC Sports Bay Area.

"I feel really good, feel healthy and excited to be back and ready to go and lead the guys," Purdy said. "I'm really excited about this week. It's been a good week so far... Obviously we've got to finish out strong this week but feel really good."
