Mac Jones started his fifth game of the season as the 49ers took on the Falcons on Sunday Night Football in Week 7. Brock Purdy came into the season as the starter, but got hurt in a Week 1 victory over the Seahawks and hasn't been able to get right.
Purdy played in Week 4, but has been out ever since with a turf toe injury, leaving Jones as the starter. Every week fans have seemed to be expecting the 49ers to clear Purdy after hearing Kyle Shanahan saying he's "progressing" and there is no thought about putting him on IR, but Melissa Stark's latest update on his toe during the NBC broadcast did not sound optimistic.
