Purdy's Return Marred by Turnovers in 49ers' 26-21 Loss to Jaguars

San Francisco enters a short week with Ricky Pearsall's knee under evaluation, narrowing options for an offense already missing key starters.

Overview

  • Jacksonville converted four San Francisco turnovers into a 26-21 win, including 17 points off the first three giveaways and a late strip-sack by Arik Armstead that sealed it.
  • Brock Purdy went 22-of-38 for 309 yards with two touchdowns, two interceptions and a lost fumble, with linebacker Devin Lloyd collecting both picks.
  • Travis Etienne rushed for 124 yards and a touchdown as the Jaguars improved to 3-1, while the 49ers outgained them 389-325 but went 1-for-3 in the red zone.
  • Ricky Pearsall exited with a knee injury and was listed as questionable to return; he later said he felt pain and instability, and Kyle Shanahan noted it was the other knee with severity still unknown.
  • Jauan Jennings was evaluated for a rib issue after a two-point conversion but returned, as the 3-1 49ers continue to navigate absences that include Brandon Aiyuk, George Kittle and Nick Bosa before Thursday's game at the Rams.
