Overview

• Jones completed 33 of 49 passes for 342 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions in a 26-23 overtime win over the Rams, moving the 49ers to 4-1 and atop the NFC West.
• He wore a brace on his left knee, was evaluated on the field after a third‑quarter hit, and later dealt with forearm cramping, yet he stayed in and led scoring drives late and in OT.
• Jones is 3-0 starting for Purdy this season and has 905 passing yards and six touchdowns across those starts, per NFL Research.
• Head coach Kyle Shanahan said Purdy is week to week with an aggravated turf toe, leaving his availability for next weekend’s game at Tampa Bay in question.
• Teammates and coaches praised Jones’ toughness, social media chatter pushed for him to keep starting, and the team’s next option if needed is Adrian Martinez, who has never thrown an NFL pass.
