A banged up and shorthanded San Francisco 49ers (1-0) squad hits the gridiron Sunday in New Orleans against the Saints (0-1).

The injuries for the 49ers are mounting as Brock Purdy was added to the injury report Wednesday and is doubtful for Sunday’s game. Assuming he does not dress, Mac Jones is expected to start in his place. Earlier this week, George Kittle (hamstring) was placed on the IR.

The Saints are not as banged up as the Niners but also do not have the same level of talent and depth as San Francisco. New Orleans hung tough against the Cardinals last week before ultimately losing, 20-13. The Saints played well on defense limiting Arizona to 276 total yards (130 passing) but could not muster much offense themselves (315 total yards) and was penalized 13 times for 89 yards.
