Overview
- San Francisco’s inactive list for Week 6 includes quarterback Brock Purdy (toe) and wide receiver Ricky Pearsall (knee), while Mac Jones and Jauan Jennings were cleared to play.
- Jones, limited in practice with knee and oblique injuries, is making his fourth straight start and can unlock a reported $400,000 incentive with a fourth win.
- Rookie Adrian Martinez serves as the primary backup and has yet to appear in an NFL regular-season game.
- The 49ers worked out quarterbacks Desmond Ridder, Nathan Peterman and Quinten Dormady on October 10 but did not add any of them.
- San Francisco remains shorthanded at receiver and tight end with George Kittle on injured reserve and Brandon Aiyuk on the PUP list, elevating Jennings’ expected role.
