Overview

  • Shanahan confirmed Friday that Jones will open versus Los Angeles, with a decision on Purdy’s game-day availability to follow Saturday’s evaluation.
  • Purdy has sat since re-aggravating turf toe after Week 4 and carries a questionable designation for a second consecutive week.
  • San Francisco is 6-3 with Jones totaling 1,832 passing yards, 10 touchdowns and five interceptions across seven starts.
  • The 49ers ruled out Ricky Pearsall and Mykel Williams and listed multiple others questionable, compounding losses that already include Fred Warner for the season.
  • The divisional game is set for Sunday at 1:25 p.m. PT at Levi’s Stadium, as some analysts speculate about a quarterback controversy if Jones continues to win.
