Imagn Images<\/span><\/p>\n 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy will return to the starting lineup on Sunday in Week 4 against the Jacksonville Jaguars after missing the last two weeks because of a turf toe injury. Purdy suffered the injury during a Week 1 win over the Seattle Seahawks and was sidelined the past two weeks against the New Orleans Saints and the Arizona Cardinals.<\/p>\n “He looked good,” 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan said Friday. “Got to do a lot more than last week. Each day, he got a lot better.”<\/p>\n In Purdy’s absence, backup quarterback Mac Jones led the 49ers to back-to-back wins to move to 3-0 ahead of Sunday’s meetings with the Jaguars. Last week, ahead of the matchup against Arizona, 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan said Purdy had a “chance” to play in the team’s home opener but instead elected to start Jones.<\/p>\n “Brock is always prepared,” Shanahan said. “He has played in games with zero practice. He got, for the most part, all of it this week.”<\/p>\n Jones, meanwhile, is questionable for Week 4 with a knee injury.<\/p>\n NFL sign-stealing: 49ers’ Robert Saleh accuses Jaguars of using ‘really advanced’ system; Liam Coen responds<\/p>\n \n Jordan Dajani <\/p>\n In the 49ers’ 17-13 win against the Seahawks earlier this month, Purdy completed 26 of 35 attempts for 277 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions. Purdy engineered a game-winning drive late in the fourth quarter when he connected with backup tight end Jake Tonges for a 4-yard touchdown with 1:34 remaining.<\/p>\n The former “Mr. Irrelevant” from the 2022 NFL Draft signed a five-year, $265 million contract extension with San Francisco earlier this offseason.<\/p>\n The 49ers are 3.5-point favorites against Jacksonville this weekend, per FanDuel.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Imagn Images 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy will return to the starting lineup on Sunday in Week 4 against the Jacksonville Jaguars after missing the last two weeks because of a turf toe injury.
