49ers Eye Brock Purdy’s Week 4 Return as Mac Jones Manages Knee Re‑Aggravation

Team evaluations this week will determine the quarterback plan.

Overview

  • Purdy practiced on a limited basis last week and, per NFL Network reporting, could start against Jacksonville if progress continues.
  • The starter has missed two games after turf toe and a left AC joint sprain suffered in Week 1 versus Seattle.
  • Jones has led San Francisco to a 2-0 mark in relief, engineering a last-minute winning drive in the Week 3 victory over Arizona.
  • The backup re-aggravated a preseason PCL sprain during the Cardinals game, finished the contest, and told reporters he is good.
  • Adrian Martinez, the 2024 UFL MVP on the practice squad, has served as Jones’ backup as the 49ers monitor both quarterbacks’ status.
