The San Francisco 49ers face their division rivals, the Arizona Cardinals, at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona on Sunday, Nov. 16 at 1:05 p.m. PDT. The Niners will be seeking to bounce back from their loss to the NFC West-leading Los Angeles Rams last weekend, but they may have reinforcements coming. Quarterback Brock Purdy could make his return after a six-game absence with a toe injury, while fellow Arizona native Ricky Pearsall is working his way back from a knee issue.
Conner, a sixth-round pick from Texas, has yet to debut as a rookie after suffering a knee injury in the preseason.

His performances have dipped, and there are growing doubts over his place in the starting lineup, with rotation a real possibility soon.
Starting with the hosts, while Atalanta might have only got a new era underway over the summer following Ivan Juric's arrival in Bergamo, La Dea appear to be enjoying life under the former Southampton boss. Despite eventually settling for a 1-1 stalemate at home against Como prior to October's international break, they have suffered just a single defeat from any of their first eight appearances across all competitions.
Head coach Brian Schottenheimer speaks with media on Wednesday before practice to discuss updates on players coming back from injury, what George Pickens has done for the team, what he expects out of the Commanders, and more.
