Brock Purdy emerged victorious from his first career NFL start, but not unscathed.

The San Francisco 49ers¡¯ rookie quarterback suffered oblique and rib injuries in a 35-7 victory against Tampa Bay on Sunday, but he should be ready to go Thursday night against the Seattle Seahawks.

The NFC West-leading 49ers (9-4), who have won six consecutive games, can clinch the division title with a victory against the second-place Seahawks (7-6).

Purdy, selected with the last overall pick in this year¡¯s NFL draft to earn the title of ¡°Mr. Irrelevant,¡± was hurt on a scramble on the second drive of last Sunday¡¯s victory against the visiting Buccaneers.

Purdy, who took over from the injured Jimmy Garoppolo two weeks ago, was limited at a light practice Tuesday.

¡°I haven¡¯t been out to practice or tried throwing the football or anything yet,¡± Purdy said. ¡°So it¡¯s been how I feel walking around or trying to do movements in the pool. I can still jog and run and that kind of stuff but I haven¡¯t tried playing football yet.¡±

49ers coach Kyle Shanahan said he would wait until Thursday to name a starter, though it¡¯s expected to be Purdy, who¡¯s officially listed as questionable.

Against Tampa Bay, Purdy became the first rookie in the Super Bowl era to throw at least two TD passes, run for a score and have a passer rating of at least 125 in his first career start.

Of course, Seattle isn¡¯t the easiest place for a rookie making his first road start. Lumen Field is considered one of the loudest venues in the league.

¡°I¡¯m excited for it,¡± Purdy said. ¡°All these guys have played here a bunch of times. So I¡¯m just hearing them out on what¡¯s good or not in terms of communication and operation. We¡¯ll be ready to roll for it.¡±

Purdy will be without wide receiver Deebo Samuel, who is expected to miss at least three weeks with injuries to his knee and ankle.

The Seahawks have blown a two-game division lead by losing three of their past four games. They¡¯ve dropped their past two home games, 40-34 to Las Vegas in overtime and 30-24 last Sunday to Carolina.

Quarterback Geno Smith, a leading contender for the league¡¯s Comeback Player of the Year Award, threw a season-worst two interceptions against the Panthers.

¡°I think I¡¯ve been too aggressive as of late and so I¡¯ve got to kind of get back to what I was doing early on, which was just taking what they give me and allowing us to have a complementary football team,¡± Smith said.
