Brock Purdy Returns as 49ers Reshuffle Roster Before Cardinals Game

The transactions underscore San Francisco’s defensive depth concerns as Deommodore Lenoir’s calf status remains uncertain.

Overview

  • Brock Purdy is active and set to start after a full week of practice, with FOX’s Jay Glazer reporting he is a full-go for today.
  • Mac Jones reverts to the No. 2 role after a 5–3 stint as starter, with NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reporting he could draw offseason trade interest.
  • The 49ers waived quarterback Adrian Martinez to open a 53-man spot, and he could return to the practice squad if he clears waivers.
  • Defensive end Clelin Ferrell was signed to the active roster to reinforce a thin defensive line after recent injuries.
  • Cornerback Eli Apple was elevated from the practice squad as Lenoir is listed questionable with a calf issue and scheduled for an MRI.
