"Backup QB Mac Jones has started six consecutive games for San Francisco. Starting QB Brock Purdy was dealing with a lingering toe injury. However, head coach Kyle Shanahan announced on Thursday that Brock Purdy will return in Week 11. That is massive for the 49ers, who are looking to make a playoff push in the NFC. If the season ended today, San Francisco would be the eighth seed."
"The 25-year-old needed to rest and recover from his toe injury. Purdy was forced to miss six consecutive starts for the 49ers. In that time, Mac Jones has led the Niners to a 3-3 record. For the season, Jones is 5-3 in his eight starts. He's thrown for 2,151 yards, 13 touchdowns, and six interceptions. Who knows where the 49ers would be if they didn't have Mac Jones this season? He's been an invaluable backup for San Francisco."
San Francisco entered Week 11 at 6-4 after a 42-26 loss to the Rams and needs to finish at least seventh in the NFC to make the playoffs. Brock Purdy suffered a toe injury in Week 1, re-injured it in Week 4, and missed six consecutive starts. Mac Jones started those games and is 5-3 on the season with 2,151 yards, 13 touchdowns and six interceptions. Kyle Shanahan announced that Purdy will start in Week 11 against the Cardinals, marking Purdy's first game since Week 4. George Kittle praised the team for having two talented quarterbacks.
