49ers
With 49ers QB Brock Purdy set to miss multiple weeks with a toe injury, QB Mac Jones is set to step into the starting role for the short term. San Francisco GM John Lynch is excited for Jones to start because of his fit in the offense that they’ve had their eye on for a while.
“Mac was a guy, back in the draft process, we studied a lot, really liked,” Lynch said, via David Bonilla of 49erswebzone.com. “He has had his ups and downs in his NFL career, but since he’s been a part of us, really has taken to our offense, really fits our culture. He can run our offense, and run it well, and we don’t have to change a whole lot when he’s out there.”
“So, I’m excited to see him get an opportunity to go show what he can do. And we’ve got to go put together another solid effort on the road in another tough place to play, in New Orleans.”
