The San Francisco 49ers gritted out a win at home against the Arizona Cardinals. Mac Jones completed 20 of 21 passes of 0-9 air yards for 154 yards and a touchdown. He was precise, under control, and apparently playing through the same PCL injury he suffered in training camp. That injury prevented Jones from playing in the preseason finale.
Jones told reporters he wished the injury hadn’t impacted his play, believing it made his job tougher going through reads. Brock Purdy was ruled out, but he was a limited participant this week, suggesting he has a chance to play in Week 4. If Jones’ injury lingers throughout the week and Purdy remains limited, practice will be interesting for the 49ers, to say the least.
Kyle Shanahan commented on Nick Bosa’s knee injury, initially ruling out a potential ACL injury:
“No, we can’t rule anything out. They checked for ACL and stuff there. He was good with that, but we’re still not sure, so we gotta check with more things tonight and tomorrow.”
Shanahan clarified his earlier comment:
“They haven’t ruled it out. We’re not sure. There is concern because of how he feels. They did the tests on the sideline, and usually they say whether he definitely did or not, and they didn’t say that. But we are concerned.”
Bosa was seen in the locker room after the game by the media without crutches. Hopefully, that’s a positive sign. We’ll have updates on Monday about Bosa and the rest of the injury news.
