Overview
- San Francisco is turning back to Brock Purdy for Week 12 against the Cardinals after what coaches described as an aggressive practice ramp-up.
- Mac Jones went 5–3 in eight starts with nearly 70% completions for 2,151 yards, 13 touchdowns and six interceptions while executing Kyle Shanahan’s offense.
- NFL reporters project substantial offseason interest in Jones, with the Jets viewed as a logical suitor and the Raiders and Saints also mentioned as possibilities.
- Jones is on a two-year, $8.4 million contract with one season remaining after 2025, which enhances his short-term trade appeal but factors into the 49ers’ backup plans.
- ESPN’s Adam Schefter suggested San Francisco could fetch a Day 2 pick for Jones, and the team waived third-string quarterback Adrian Martinez to free a roster spot.
