Brock Purdy injury update: 4 reasons for 49ers to wait on starting QB, stick with Mac Jones

There are $265 million reasons Brock Purdy will go back to starting for the 49ers at quarterback over supersub Mac Jones when back at full health. There is also no good reason to rush Purdy back into action with a lingering injury.

Purdy has a painful turf toe that's still bothering him. Per coach Kyle Shanahan, this week the 49ers want to feel comfortable about him playing without any discomfort. It's hard to feel that way until Purdy can get in a whole week of practicing in full ahead of a game.

Purdy was ruled out for Week 9 at the Giants and his recovery will continue in Week 10's huge NFC West home game vs. the Rams , as Jones once again will be the starter.
