Although Jones has looked solid, the 49ers seem to have received some concerning news on Purdy's injury. During Sunday night's 49ers-Falcons game, NBC reporter Melissa Stark spoke about her conversation with Purdy regarding his injury.

“Brock told me that any movement in the wrong direction could set him back,” Stark said. “He said he is truly day-to-day. There is no timeline for his return. He called this injury, ‘So annoying,’ saying he’s never dealt with something that lingers this long.”

Purdy, who signed a five-year, $265 million extension with San Francisco in the offseason, suffered his turf toe injury in Week 1 against the Seattle Seahawks. He aimed to return against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 4, but was back on the injury report after the game.

In Purdy's absence, Jones has done a fine job.

In five games this season, Jones has completed 130 of 194 passes for 1,404 yards with six touchdowns and four interceptions. He has also rushed for 34 yards on 21 attempts.
