Overview
- San Francisco opted against signing a veteran quarterback and instead elevated Adrian Martinez from the practice squad to back up Jones.
- Martinez, a former UFL MVP who has yet to play an NFL regular-season snap, is in line for his NFL debut if needed.
- The 49ers announced multiple moves: Curtis Robinson was promoted to the 53-man roster, Robert Beal Jr. was waived, and Brayden Willis was elevated at tight end.
- With George Kittle on injured reserve due to a hamstring injury, Luke Farrell and Jake Tonges lead the tight end group with Willis as depth.
- An unnamed Saints defender told The Athletic their plan is to collapse the pocket and pressure Jones up the middle to disrupt his rhythm.
