Overview
- Head coach Kyle Shanahan said Friday that Mac Jones will start, with Brock Purdy listed as questionable after limited practices and a toe that is not fully healthy.
- Shanahan limited Purdy’s first‑team reps this week to avoid a repeat of his Week 4 re‑aggravation, and Purdy could be active only in a backup role.
- If Purdy is unavailable, Adrian Martinez will serve as the No. 2 quarterback behind Jones.
- Jones has started six games with a 4–2 record, completing 65.9% of his passes for 1,597 yards, eight touchdowns and five interceptions as the 49ers sit 5–3.
- WR Ricky Pearsall, C Jake Brendel, and DEs Yetur Gross‑Matos and Bryce Huff are out; OL Ben Bartch and Spencer Burford, DTs Jordan Elliott and Sam Okuayinonu, and LB Dee Winters are questionable, while newcomer Keion White is expected to debut and Clelin Ferrell could be elevated.
