The San Francisco 49ers are navigating their practice week with significant updates regarding key players. Quarterback Mac Jones was limited at practice due to injuries, while Brock Purdy missed the session altogether.
Mac Jones Injury Update
Mac Jones participated on a limited basis during practice this week. His involvement follows a dominant performance in Week 5 against the Los Angeles Rams, where he played through knee and oblique issues. Coach Kyle Shanahan confirmed this status, indicating Jones will aim to start against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Brock Purdy’s Absence
Brock Purdy missed practice on Wednesday due to a toe injury. He has been sidelined for three of the team’s five games this season. Despite his ongoing recovery, there is no current plan to place him on injured reserve.

- Ricky Pearsall (knee)
