Overview

  • San Francisco officially ruled out Brock Purdy (toe) and Ricky Pearsall (knee) for Sunday’s game in Tampa Bay.
  • Mac Jones is listed as questionable with knee and oblique injuries, and team officials expect him to start after he threw in Friday’s practice.
  • If Jones cannot play, Adrian Martinez would be next up at quarterback, with no NFL regular-season snaps to date.
  • Jauan Jennings practiced Thursday and Friday and is questionable with ankle and rib injuries, offering potential help to a thin receiving group.
  • Tampa Bay will be without top receivers Mike Evans (hamstring) and Chris Godwin (fibula), while the 49ers also have multiple defensive linemen and depth pieces ruled out or questionable.
