49ers injuries: QB Brock Purdy, WRS Ricky Pearsall, Jauan Jennings for “ Thursday evening Football ” against Rams
The quarter of the 49ers of San Francisco, Brock Purdy, was officially released for “Thursday evening Football” against the Rams of Los Angeles with an injury to the toes. Mac Jones should start in Purdy.
Purdy has already missed two games – week 2 against New Orleans’ saints and week 3 against Arizona cardinals – due to his injury to the Gazon’s toe, but he returned during week 4 against Jacksonville jaguars. However, Purdy said he felt pain in his toe after the Jaguars match, a defeat of 26-21. Purdy went 22 out of 28 for 309 yards with two touchdown and two interceptions in last week’s match.
Purdy hoped to play Thursday despite training on Monday or Tuesday.
“If I can play this game, I want to play,” said Purdy, via ESPN. “Obviously, I want to do good health and everything, but we have to win this match against the Rams. This is how I watch it.”

Mac Jones, 49ers enter “TNF” with a thin group of receivers
Jones, who was faced with a knee injury but was active last week and a full participant in training this week, started two games in the absence of Purdy, helping the 49ers taking a 3-0 start. In his two departures, Jones launched 563 yards, four affected and interception with a percentage of completion of 66.3.
This week, however, his broad body of receivers will be exhausted while Jauan Jennings and Ricky Pearsall will also miss the match on Thursday evening. Jennings faces injuries to his ankle and coast while Pearsall has a knee injury. Another wide recruit, Jordan Watkins, came out with a veal problem. With the 49ers so beaten, Rams are favorites of seven points in Fanduel.
Pearsall has 20 catches for 327 yards at the top of the team this season. Jennings has nine catches for 129 yards and a touchdown.
The 49ers were already without the receiver Brandon Aiyuk, who recoveries a knee injury, and a tight winger George Kittle, who has not played since week 1 due to an injury to the hamstrings.
With Jennings and Pearsall outside, Kendrick Bourne, the former teammate of Jones of New England Patriots, Demarcus Robinson and the tight wing Jake Tonges will be among the best reception options in San Francisco. The team also marked Valdes-Scantling and Skyy Moore on the list. Bourne has eight catches for 87 yards in three games this season. Robinson, Valdes-Scantling and Moore each have a reception over the year. Tongs have 12 catches for 125 yards and two scores.
The 49ers and the Rams are both seated at 3-1 before Thursday’s division match.
