49ers Promote Adrian Martinez After Brock Purdy Injury Ahead Rams Game
The San Francisco 49ers are rebuilding their team around quarterback Brock Purdy, who signed a five-year, $265 million contract after being drafted last in 2022 and leading the team to a Super Bowl appearance. However, Purdy has been sidelined multiple times this season due to a persistent turf toe injury, forcing the 49ers to start Mac Jones, who has performed well in Purdy's absence. To bolster their quarterback depth, the team recently promoted Adrian Martinez from the practice squad to the active roster; Martinez previously spent time with the New York Jets and Detroit Lions practice squads and brings mobility to the position. Despite injuries to several key players, including Purdy, the 49ers have maintained a strong 3-1 start and are preparing for a crucial divisional game against the Los Angeles Rams. The team's strategy reflects a focus on balancing financial considerations with building a star-studded roster, similar to the approach taken by the Rams. Martinez's promotion signals the 49ers' commitment to having a reliable backup ready to step in as they navigate Purdy's uncertain recovery timeline.
