""The first time [he returned] we let him get all those starter reps and it was great," Shanahan said. "And then there was a chance he could re-hurt it in the game and he did and he's been out for the last month. He's got more reps this week, but we weren't going to commit to all of that like we did last time. So, I think it's easing him back more than last time.""
""It means he's got a chance to be available," Shanahan said. "Mac is going to be starting.""
""Mac is going to be starting.""
Mac Jones will start at quarterback for the San Francisco 49ers against the New York Giants. Brock Purdy is listed as questionable while progressing toward a return from a right big-toe injury. Purdy has been out since Week 4 after aggravating the toe originally injured in Week 1. This week marked the third straight in which Purdy was a limited participant in all three practice days and the first time since Week 4 that he was not ruled out before the game week. Purdy took more reps with the starting offense this week but mostly performed individual drills in recent weeks. The team eased his reps compared with his earlier return when he received full starter reps and re-injured the toe.
