Purdy to start for 49ers; are Jaguars stealing signs?
"It remains to be seen if Purdy and Co. will be at risk of giving away information to the Jaguars. Defensive coordinator Robert Saleh alleged Thursday Jacksonville is adept at poaching signs legally during games and using the inside info to their advantage. Given Saleh's time as a head coach for 56 games from 2021 through 2024 with the New York Jets, he has extensively dealt with the New York media and understood his thoughts on the matter would become public. And a few mind games between opponents never hurt anyone."
"Shanahan The 49ers coach offered clues twice during his KNBR-680 weekly appearance Thursday following practice that pointed toward Purdy returning as the starter after sustaining a turf toe injury in a season-opening win in Seattle. I think it's feeling better each day and if that continues he should be good on Sunday, Shanahan said. Hopefully that continues, it's always delicate with the toe."
Brock Purdy will start Sunday against Jacksonville and has been removed from the injury list. Wide receiver Jauan Jennings (knee, shoulder), quarterback Mac Jones (knee), and guard Connor Colby (groin) were listed as questionable. C.J. West (thumb) and Jordan Watkins (calf) are ruled out. The 49ers host Jacksonville at Levi's Stadium with both teams holding winning records. Jacksonville is alleged to be adept at legally poaching signs during games and using inside information to their advantage. Both Purdy and Jones expressed confidence about availability, with Purdy reporting notable improvement on his turf toe and readiness to play.
