Brock Purdy didn't play for the San Francisco 49ers in games against the New Orleans Saints and the Arizona Cardinals in Weeks 2 and 3, respectively. The star quarterback suffered injuries to his left shoulder and toe in Week 1 against the Seattle Seahawks, which kept him out of action for the next two games.

After Mac Jones started the last two games for the 49ers, Purdy will take over as the starter in Week 4 against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Purdy began the week with two consecutive limited practice sessions, but on Friday, he recorded a full practice, which is enough to receive medical clearance for the Week 4 contest.

That said, it's still unknown if Brock Purdy will have his top receivers available on his return to the field. Wide receiver duo Ricky Pearsall (knee) and Jauan Jennings (shoulder/ankle) are both 'questionable' for the game.

Pearsall was unable to practice on Wednesday due to a knee issue. He did log limited participation on Thursday and Friday, though. The second-year receiver, who is third in the NFL in receiving yards (281), is making a name for himself this season as one of the league's best receivers after three games.

A shoulder and ankle ailment kept Jennings out of San Francisco's second game of the season. He did, however, play in Week 1 before that, recording 89 yards and one score against the New Orleans Saints.

Jennings missed practice on Wednesday and Thursday this week. He did return to limited practice participation on Friday, though. Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that he is expected to play in Week 4, but his involvement will be limited.

Jones will be the team's second-choice quarterback on Sunday after leading the Niners to two wins in Weeks 2 and 3 without Purdy.
