San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy unlikely to feature against the Cardinals, with Mac Jones expected to start in his place.
The San Francisco 49ers are set to square off against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 3 of the NFL season, with Mac Jones poised to start at quarterback for the 49ers.
In the absence of Brock Purdy, who is still recovering from an ankle injury, Jones stepped up in the previous game, playing well and leading the team to a victory. Purdy had an impressive debut with the 49ers, completing 26 of 35 passes for 277 yards, two touchdowns, and two interceptions in their season-opening win against the Seattle Seahawks. However, he missed the 49ers' game against the New Orleans Saints due to a form of turf toe.
George Kittle and Jauan Jennings exited the game against the Seahawks early, adding to the 49ers' injury concerns. Despite these setbacks, the 49ers managed to secure a 17-13 victory in their season opener. They then went on to win their home opener against the Saints by a score of 26-21.
Mac Jones, in his first start for the 49ers, delivered a stellar performance, completing 26 of 39 passes for 279 yards and three touchdowns without any interceptions. This made him the first player in San Francisco 49ers history to throw for 275 yards, three touchdowns, and zero interceptions in his first start.
The Arizona Cardinals, who are 2-0 to start the current season, last achieved this feat in 2021. However, Kyler Murray's unit for the Cardinals has yet to reach 300 yards of total offense in a game during the current season.
The NFL Week 3 game between the San Francisco 49ers and the Arizona Cardinals is highlighted in a loaded slate of games. With Jones at the helm, the 49ers will be looking to continue their winning streak and challenge the Cardinals' undefeated record. Brock Purdy, on the other hand, is still on the mend from his toe injury and is highly unlikely to start against the Cardinals.
