Overview
- Shanahan confirmed Jones will start at MetLife Stadium, marking his fifth straight and seventh start this season.
- Purdy practiced on a limited basis all week, is not fully healthy, and had reduced starter reps after a previous rushed return led to a setback.
- The team indicated Purdy could be available in a backup or emergency role, with Adrian Martinez next up if Purdy is inactive.
- San Francisco ruled out C Jake Brendel, DE Yetur Gross-Matos, DE Bryce Huff, and WR Ricky Pearsall; several others, including Ben Bartch, Spencer Burford, Jordan Elliott, Sam Okuayinonu, Dee Winters, and Purdy, are questionable.
- New addition Keion White is expected to contribute on the defensive line, and Clelin Ferrell could be activated due to depth needs at end.
