"Mac Jones, who is in line to start a fourth game for the Niners should Purdy be unavailable, was limited in practice Thursday for a second straight day as he deals with left knee and oblique ailments. Although Jones expressed optimism Thursday that he'll be available to start against the Buccaneers, he also made it clear that he's still in the midst of recovering."
"Nick has covered the San Francisco 49ers since 2016, having previously covered the St. Louis Rams for 12 years, including three years (2013 to 2015) at ESPN. In over a decade with the company, Nick has led ESPN's coverage of the Niners' 2019 and 2023 Super Bowl run, Colin Kaepernick's protest, the Rams making Michael Sam the first openly gay player drafted to the NFL, Sam's subsequent pursuit of a roster spot and the team's relocation and stadium saga."
Brock Purdy is likely to miss Sunday's game against Tampa Bay because of a toe injury. Mac Jones has been limited in practice for a second consecutive day while managing left knee and oblique injuries but expressed confidence about starting and said he is getting treatment daily. Jones played through the knee issue in last week's win over the Rams, and said the oblique injury occurred at the end of that game, making it unclear whether he would have returned if the offense had another possession. He has used extra rest days to focus on treatment, sleep and nutrition to aid recovery.
