49ers’ First Loss: Purdy Reports Toe Soreness, WRs in Doubt for Thursday at Rams

Four turnovers plus a punt-return TD defined the 26-21 defeat as Kyle Shanahan weighs Mac Jones as a contingency.

Overview

  • Brock Purdy returned from injury and went 22-of-38 for 309 yards with two touchdowns, two interceptions and a late fumble in the 26-21 loss to Jacksonville.
  • Kyle Shanahan said Purdy reported toe soreness after the game and will be monitored this week with a short turnaround to Thursday night in Los Angeles.
  • Ricky Pearsall is suspected to have a minor PCL injury and Jauan Jennings is dealing with a rib issue, leaving both wide receivers' availability uncertain.
  • If Purdy cannot play, multiple reports indicate Mac Jones would likely start after filling in during the previous two games.
  • Shanahan blamed four turnovers for the defeat, while an 87-yard Jaguars punt-return touchdown and ongoing run-game struggles added to the setbacks.
