Niners QB Mac Jones to start vs. Giants with Brock Purdy (toe) questionable

Brock Purdy is listed as questionable for the San Francisco 49ers' Week 9 game against the New York Giants due to a toe injury, but Mac Jones will start, according to coach Kyle Shanahan. Purdy has been sidelined since Week 4 following an injury sustained in the season opener. Mac Jones has stepped in as the starting quarterback, achieving a 4-2 record in his starts with a 65.9% pass completion rate and an 8-5 touchdown-to-interception ratio. Despite numerous injuries, including the absence of receivers Brandon Aiyuk and Ricky Pearsall, the 49ers have maintained a 5-3 record, keeping them competitive in the NFC West. The team looks to rebound from a recent loss in Houston as they face the Giants.
