"San Francisco's starting quarterback, Brock Purdy, is a "long shot" to play as he deals with injuries to his shoulder and toe, 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan told reporters. Purdy missed practice on Wednesday. Jones, who is No. 2 on the depth chart, is expected to play in his place. Jones is in his first season with the 49ers after signing a two-year, $8.1 million deal with them in the offseason."
"Jones went 17-for-23 during the preseason, compiling 209 passing yards in two games. He didn't throw any touchdown passes, but had a pair of interceptions and was sacked twice. The former Patriots first-round pick has largely been a backup since he was traded from New England. He backed up Trevor Lawrence in Jacksonville, but wound up starting seven games while Lawrence was injured. Now, with Purdy possibly slated to miss a chunk of time, Jones is expected to have another shot at starting."
Brock Purdy is listed as a long shot to play Sunday at New Orleans due to shoulder and toe injuries and could miss multiple weeks. Purdy missed practice on Wednesday. Mac Jones, No. 2 on the depth chart, is in line to start and is expected to play in Purdy's place. Jones signed a two-year, $8.1 million deal with San Francisco this offseason and went 17-for-23 in preseason, compiling 209 passing yards in two games with two interceptions and two sacks. Jones previously started seven games in Jacksonville while Trevor Lawrence was injured.
