Brock Purdy Cleared to Start for 49ers in Week 4 vs. Jaguars

His return follows a full-practice clearance, signaling a quicker-than-forecast recovery.

Overview

  • Coach Kyle Shanahan confirmed Friday that Purdy carries no injury designation after progressing to full participation in practice.
  • Backup Mac Jones, who went 2-0 with 563 yards, four touchdowns and one interception while starting the past two games, is questionable with a knee injury.
  • Kickoff is Sunday at 4:05 p.m. ET at Levi’s Stadium against Jacksonville, which ranks among the league’s best in points allowed.
  • Purdy missed Weeks 2 and 3 with a turf-toe variant and a left shoulder issue from the opener, returning earlier than the initial two-to-five-week expectation.
  • The 49ers are still short-handed elsewhere, with Nick Bosa out for the season after ACL surgery and wideouts Jauan Jennings and Ricky Pearsall listed as questionable.
