49ers QB Purdy Nears Week 4 Return As Jones Remains Day-to-Day

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy, sidelined with toe and shoulder injuries since Week 1, is expected to return to practice and potentially start in Week 4 against the Jacksonville Jaguars, according to multiple reports. In his absence, veteran Mac Jones has performed effectively, leading the team to a perfect 3-0 record with strong passing statistics, though the team is leaning toward whichever quarterback is healthiest. Meanwhile, wide receiver Demarcus Robinson, who was serving a suspension, is set to make his debut in the same game, adding a boost to the 49ers' offense. Despite some injuries to key players like George Kittle, Jauan Jennings, and Nick Bosa, the team has managed to navigate a relatively soft early schedule but faces tougher opponents starting Week 5. Jones expressed confidence and professionalism stepping in for Purdy, and there is no indication of a quarterback controversy emerging. Additionally, the 49ers' recent win over the Arizona Cardinals was marked by notable drops from Cardinals receiver Marvin Harrison Jr., which contributed significantly to the Cardinals' loss.
