Reports last week indicated that San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy would miss two to five weeks with a turf toe injury. Jones’ Week 2 performance may give the 49ers a reason not to rush back Purdy. The former New England Patriots starter registered 279 yards and three touchdowns in a 26-21 win over the New Orleans Saints. But he settled in and did enough for us to win.”That doesn’t mean there’s any quarterback controversy in San Francisco once Purdy is healthy. The final pick of the 2022 NFL Draft has already taken the 49ers to a Super Bowl, averaging 8.9 yards per attempt with a 104.5 career quarterback rating.
