Before the start of the season, the 49ers provided Brock Purdy with a five-year contract extension worth $265 million. He injured his toe during the Week 1 victory over the Seattle Seahawks.

The quarterback missed the next two games before returning during last week's 26-21 loss to the Jaguars. Purdy completed 22 of 38 passes attempted for 309 yards and two passing touchdowns. He complained about discomfort in his toe after the game, resulting in the team taking no chances with his injury and bringing in Mac Jones on Thursday.

Jones began his NFL journey with the Patriots in 2021. He spent three seasons with them before serving as Trevor Lawrence's backup on the Jaguars last season. So far, he has played in two games for the 49ers and won both of them. The quarterback has recorded 563 yards and four touchdowns passing.

The quarterback complimented Sean McVay's defense before expressing his excitement about the game.

"I thin just the way they play their mindset, there's always 11 guys on the screen and they have a great defensive line," Jones said. "They play a lot of different schemes. They do a lot of stuff but do it well. So, it's going to be a challenge and been impressed with them. So, can't wait to go against them."
