Purdy Out, Jones In as 4-1 49ers Visit Buccaneers on Sunday

Tampa Bay enters as a short home favorite with key playmakers sidelined on both rosters.

Overview

  • Kickoff is 4:25 p.m. ET at Raymond James Stadium on CBS, with streaming on Paramount+.
  • San Francisco ruled out Brock Purdy (toe) and is expected to start Mac Jones, who played through knee and oblique issues in a 342-yard, two-touchdown outing last week.
  • The 49ers activated safety Malik Mustapha from reserve/PUP and elevated defensive lineman Trevis Gipson in final roster moves before Week 6.
  • The Buccaneers will be without wide receiver Mike Evans and running back Bucky Irving, as Baker Mayfield continues to lead a productive passing attack with rookie Emeka Egbuka.
  • Sportsbooks list Tampa Bay around -3 with a total near 47.5 and a money line near -161, as both clubs enter at 4-1.
