Overview
- Head coach Kyle Shanahan said Friday that Mac Jones will start against New York, with Brock Purdy questionable and possibly available as the backup.
- Shanahan said Purdy's toe "isn't fully healthy" and the team limited starter reps this week to ease him back and lower the risk of re-injury.
- If Purdy is not active, Adrian Martinez would again serve as the No. 2 quarterback.
- Jones has 1,597 passing yards with eight touchdowns and five interceptions in six appearances, and the 49ers are 4-2 in his starts to sit 5-3 overall.
- The 49ers ruled out Ricky Pearsall, Jake Brendel, Yetur Gross-Matos and Bryce Huff; multiple others are questionable, and recent addition Keion White is expected to bolster the defensive line rotation.
