Brock Purdy’s return will need to wait another week. Despite Purdy returning to practice ahead of the San Francisco 49ers’ Week 7 matchup with the Atlanta Falcons, Mac Jones is set to receive his fifth start of the year.
Purdy returned from his turf toe injury and has been practicing with the team throughout the week, but was ruled out for Week 7 on Friday, Clayton Holloway of NFL Network reported. His absence paves the way for Jones, who is 3-1 on the year as a starter, to lead the 49ers for at least one more week.
The report is in line with how the team’s recent practice sessions have gone. Despite Purdy’s presence, Jones has taken the majority of the first-team reps, suggesting that he would remain in the starting lineup.
This is a developing story.
