Purdy is expected to return along with a healthy Christian McCaffrey, who played full minutes Thursday and Friday but was removed from the final injury report.

49ers offensive line enters Week 13 tied for third place adjusted line yard He tied for 8th in adjusted sack percentage. Bills defense ranks 7th adjusted line yard Ranked 20th in adjusted sack percentage. While this isn't exactly the strongest battle in the trenches, it's safe to say we can expect the Bills to attack the left side of the 49ers offensive line.
If the 49ers' line struggles, the short passing game could need that much more work. The 49ers had a lot of injuries, so Purdy was downgraded for this game. He has some key weapons, and McCaffrey spent a few games trying to get back to his midseason form. There is some ceiling, but it may be a game where he avoids Purdy.
If you're worried about the weather, you probably don't need to worry too much. It will be cold, but most of the snow will fall in the evening. Snow removal is also expected to take place, so there shouldn't be a big impact. If the wind blows, it will be a bigger problem. Winds are currently expected to be around 17 mph, with gusts up to 48 mph. It's not ridiculous, but it could be enough to cause some problems in the passing game.
