"While quarterback Brock Purdy slowly works his way back from injury, the San Francisco 49ers will once again turn to Mac Jones as the starter for Sunday's NFC West showdown against the Los Angeles Rams. For the second consecutive week, Purdy is officially listed as questionable because of the right big toe injury he initially suffered in Week 1 and aggravated in Week 4."
""It will be Mac again starting," coach Kyle Shanahan said Friday. "We haven't decided whether to make (Purdy) active or not, but he's further along this week than last week." Before last week's game against the New York Giants, Shanahan said there was a chance Purdy could be Jones' backup or even serve as the emergency third signal-caller behind Jones and Adrian Martinez. That didn't happen and after the game Shanahan said Purdy wasn't all that close to being ready to go."
Brock Purdy is progressing slowly from a right big toe injury sustained in Week 1 and aggravated in Week 4. The San Francisco 49ers will start Mac Jones for the upcoming NFC West game against the Los Angeles Rams. Purdy was a limited participant in all three practice days and is officially listed as questionable. Coach Kyle Shanahan said Purdy is further along than last week but the team has not decided whether to make him active. Purdy took more reps with the starting offense but did not fully participate. If inactive, it would be his eighth missed game; Jones is 5-2 as his replacement.
