With Purdy out, Jones threw for 279 yards and three scores in the 49ers' Week 2 win over the Saints before throwing for 284 yards with a touchdown and a pick in San Francisco's Week 3 victory over the Cardinals .

Quarterback Brock Purdy will miss his fourth game this season for San Francisco because of a toe injury, and backup Mac Jones is listed as questionable but expected to start on Sunday against Tampa Bay despite being hampered by injuries to his knee and oblique.

The 49ers have ruled out starting quarterback Brock Purdy for Sunday's game against Tampa Bay, along with rookie wide receiver Ricky Pearsall, according to a report from ESPN's Adam Schefter. With Purdy out, Mac Jones is set to start again for San Francisco, as he looks to continue his hot streak of play in Purdy's stead.

Jauan Jennings, WR, SF (ankle) is a game-time decision. He missed Week 5 with the injury. Kendrick Bourne had a big game last week when called upon with Jennings and Ricky Pearsall both out.

Belichick's offense misfired after he placed Matt Patricia and Joe Judge in charge of calling the shots in 2022 following Josh McDaniels' exit as offensive coordinator. During the ensuing 2022 and 2023 seasons, Jones tallied 24 touchdown passes total with 23 interceptions and a QBR near the bottom of the NFL.

The San Francisco 49ers' offense has been hit hard by injuries this season and one of their top wide receivers says he's playing through pain.
