Overview

• Jones led a 26-23 overtime victory at the Rams with 33-of-49 passing for 342 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions.
• He told teammates he saw a body floating near the team hotel in Marina del Rey before the game; the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department says the death is under investigation and the man was pronounced dead at the scene.
• San Francisco is 4-1 and undefeated in Jones’s starts since Purdy’s early-September toe injury.
• Analyst Cody Benjamin of CBS Sports floated trade ideas involving Jones, including a swap for Bengals edge rusher Trey Hendrickson and a deal sending him to the Jets for Tyrod Taylor and a 2026 fourth-round pick.
• Reporting and team context indicate the 49ers are unlikely to trade Jones during Purdy’s recovery, with Tampa Bay up next on October 12.
