US EditionBrock Purdy injury update: 49ers say ex-Iowa State QB will miss multiple games
Brock Purdy's turf toe injury will sideline him for 2 to 5 weeks, forcing backup Mac Jones to start amid multiple key player injuries for the 49ers.
- On Thursday, the San Francisco 49ers confirmed Brock Purdy is expected to miss two to five weeks, and backup Mac Jones will start in his place for upcoming games.
- According to medical descriptions, turf toe is a ligament injury caused by hyperextension, which Brock Purdy sustained in the second quarter of the Week 1 game vs. the Seattle Seahawks.
- Despite the injury, Brock Purdy completed 26 of 35 passes for 277 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions, finishing the game by throwing a 4-yard game-winning TD to Jake Tonges, while Kyle Shanahan said, `I think it's a long shot`.
- San Francisco brought in Mike White for a workout Tuesday as it explores adding quarterback depth, with Adrian Martinez on the practice squad and Kurtis Rourke unavailable until at least Week 5.
- If the timeline holds, Purdy could return for the Week 4 home game vs. Jacksonville Jaguars, but a full five-week absence would delay his return to the Week 7 home game vs. Atlanta Falcons, making this stretch critical for the San Francisco 49ers' playoff hopes.
