"He's started in the NFL before, so I didn't want to act like an older guy, Purdy said in an exclusive interview with the Bay Area News Group at his locker. He's been here before. He knows what to do. So I just let him do his thing."
"Brock was awesome, Jones said. He's helped me all week, and he's doing a great job rehabbing. He knows how it is out there, and is like: You're doing great. Keep ripping it.'"
"He had a bunch of good throws, but that was one when we needed it third down, cross-court to Jauan, Purdy said. He had a little no-look on it, supposedly."
Brock Purdy sat out the game with a slightly swollen right big toe and observed from the 49ers sideline wearing a sneaker. Mac Jones started, completed 26 of 39 passes and threw three touchdowns, including a 42-yard scoring strike to Jauan Jennings that provided the eventual winning points in a 26-21 victory over the Saints. Purdy praised Jones' preparation and allowed him to operate without interference. Jones credited Purdy for help during rehab and leadership. Coach Kyle Shanahan described Purdy's availability as uncertain and said the team will monitor the toe day-to-day.
