49ers Sideline QB Brock Purdy, WR Jauan Jennings for Week 3 Home Opener

The San Francisco 49ers will face the Arizona Cardinals in Week 3 without quarterback Brock Purdy and wide receiver Jauan Jennings, both ruled out due to injuries. Purdy continues to recover from a toe injury sustained earlier in the season, leading to Mac Jones starting at quarterback with Adrian Martinez as his backup. Jennings, sidelined by both shoulder and ankle injuries, leaves the 49ers with limited options at wide receiver, forcing them to rely on a less experienced receiving corps. Coach Kyle Shanahan and former quarterback Alex Smith remain optimistic about the offense's potential despite these setbacks, highlighting the fit of Mac Jones in the system. The team has been cautious with Purdy’s recovery, prioritizing his health for future games. These absences present a significant challenge for San Francisco as they attempt to maintain their performance against the Cardinals.
