49ers Sign QB Nate Sudfeld, Place RB Patrick Taylor on Season-Ending IR

The move reflects San Francisco's effort to cover injuries before the preseason finale.

Overview

  • Head coach Kyle Shanahan said Mac Jones sprained his knee, will miss practice and the preseason finale, and should be ready for Week 1.
  • Sudfeld, a familiar 2021 49ers backup, will compete with Carter Bradley for the No. 3 quarterback role behind Brock Purdy.
  • Patrick Taylor Jr. went on season-ending injured reserve after shoulder surgery following the win over the Raiders.
  • Starting right guard Dominick Puni sustained a knee sprain and is expected to miss a few weeks, leaving his Week 1 availability uncertain.
  • Rookie running back Corey Kiner suffered a high-ankle sprain that could sideline him for at least a month, elevating depth needs for Saturday's preseason finale against the Chargers.
