Overview
- Purdy has missed time since a Week 4 turf toe setback, and Shanahan said he is “pretty confident” the quarterback will play again this season.
- Shanahan revealed Purdy could have dressed as the No. 2 against the Rams but was held out, and team policy remains to keep him inactive unless he can reclaim the starting role.
- Jones delivered 33-of-39 passing for 319 yards, three touchdowns and one interception in the 42-26 loss to Los Angeles, continuing an efficient run as the fill-in starter.
- Through eight starts, Jones has 2,151 yards, 13 touchdowns, six interceptions and a 69.6% completion rate as San Francisco sits 6-4 overall and 5-3 in his starts.
- Prominent voices such as Tom Brady and Richard Sherman have advocated riding the hot hand, while Jones says he is taking it day by day and reports suggest his strong play could boost his offseason trade market.
