Overview
- Mac Jones was confirmed as the Week 9 starter, with Kyle Shanahan saying Brock Purdy is questionable and could be available in a backup role.
- Purdy practiced on a limited basis all week and did not receive full starter reps as the team tries to avoid another setback.
- The 49ers ruled out Jake Brendel, Yetur Gross-Matos, Bryce Huff, and Ricky Pearsall, and Gross-Matos was placed on injured reserve.
- Trade acquisition Keion White is expected to debut against New York, and Clelin Ferrell was elevated from the practice squad to bolster a thin edge group.
- San Francisco activated Spencer Burford to the 53-man roster, downgraded Ben Bartch to out, and listed Jordan Elliott as questionable after he did not travel.
