49ers at 4-1: Lynch Expects Mac Jones to Play as Purdy Waits, Kittle Nears Practice

John Lynch signaled openness to a deadline move after calling trade talks productive.

Overview

  • The 49ers are 4-1 despite a long injury list, earning high marks from analysts for resilience and depth.
  • General manager John Lynch said Mac Jones is in good shape despite knee and oblique issues and is expected to be available for Week 6 at Tampa Bay.
  • Lynch said Brock Purdy remains sidelined by a toe injury with no firm timetable for return.
  • Lynch is fairly confident George Kittle will return to practice in Week 7, positioning the tight end for a potential game return thereafter.
  • With Nick Bosa out for the season, Lynch reported productive conversations ahead of the trade deadline and said he will act if a deal improves the roster, including help for the pass rush.
