49ers' Brock Purdy Out 2–5 Weeks With Turf Toe Variant as Mac Jones Takes Over

The diagnosis pushes San Francisco to Mac Jones, prompting evaluations of short‑term roster moves.

Overview

  • NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports Purdy faces a two‑to‑five‑week absence with a turf toe variant and soreness in his non‑throwing shoulder.
  • Kyle Shanahan labeled Purdy a long shot for Week 2, and the quarterback is now expected to miss the Saints game and likely Week 3.
  • Mac Jones is slated to start, with the 49ers preparing for at least two games without Purdy depending on how the toe responds to treatment.
  • San Francisco hosted veteran Mike White for a workout and could elevate practice‑squad QB Adrian Martinez to back up Jones.
  • The team has not placed Purdy on injured reserve as it monitors recovery, and tight end George Kittle remains on IR with a hamstring injury.
