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

San Francisco is turning back to its QB1 after losing Nick Bosa for the season.

Overview

  • Purdy was removed from the injury report after a turf‑toe variant and non‑throwing shoulder issue and will start Sunday, head coach Kyle Shanahan said.
  • He progressed through limited work during the week and practiced fully on Friday to finalize his return, with no surgery required per earlier MRI results.
  • Backup Mac Jones went 2-0 in relief with 563 yards, four touchdowns and one interception and is questionable for Week 4 with a knee injury.
  • The 49ers continue to manage significant absences, including Bosa’s season-ending ACL surgery, with Jauan Jennings and Ricky Pearsall listed as questionable and George Kittle on injured reserve.
  • San Francisco enters 3-0 to face a Jaguars defense ranked fifth in points allowed as Purdy resumes play following his five-year, $265 million extension.
