49ers QB Purdy Questionable for Week 5 NFC West Clash vs Rams

The San Francisco 49ers face significant quarterback challenges ahead of their Thursday night game against the Los Angeles Rams due to injury concerns. Starting quarterback Brock Purdy, who has been battling a persistent toe injury since the season opener, is questionable for the game after re-aggravating the injury during a recent loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. Despite playing through the injury and returning after a two-game absence, Purdy's toe soreness has worsened, leading to doubts about his ability to play on a short week. Backup quarterback Mac Jones, who led the team to wins in Purdy's absence, is also dealing with a knee injury that limited his practice time, complicating the 49ers' quarterback situation further. Wide receiver Ricky Pearsall is another key player listed as questionable due to a knee injury sustained against the Jaguars. The 49ers are monitoring these injuries closely as the NFC West race tightens, with the upcoming game crucial for division standings.
