San Francisco 49ers Quarterback Brock Purdy and the broad recipient Ricky Pearsall have been excluded for the team’s match against Tampa Bay Buccaneers Sunday.
Purdy is out with a toe injury while the Pearsall is sidelined with a knee injury.
Backup -quarterback Mac Jones, listed on the injuries report as questionable, is expected to start for the 49s. Jones injured his slant on his last game in last week’s overtime gain over Los Angeles Rams and was limited all week in practice, but should be ready to play, according to head coach Kyle Shanahan.

Purdy, 25, initially injured his toe in the season opener against the Seattle Seahawks. He missed the next two games and returned to play in week 4 against Jacksonville Jaguars, but reacted the damage and missed last week’s match against Los Angeles Rams.
Purdy, who signed a five-year extension of $ 265 million in high season, will miss his sixth match due to an injury in San Francisco’s last 13 competitions dating to last season.
While the 49s definitely frogs Purdy, they have not missed a blow to Jones as they are 3-0 in his starting.

The 27-year-old has completed 66.7% of its passports in 905 yards with six touchdowns and a three-match interception.
Jones is one of only two quarterbacks – along with Matthew Stafford in 2021 with Rams – ever to win his first three starts with a franchise while throwing at least 900 yards and six touchdowns.

In the second week, however, Jones does not have Pearsall to throw. Jauan Jennings, another of Jones’ top goals, is listed as questionable with damage to his ankle and ribs that kept him out of last week’s play.
The 49s (4-1) plays Buccaneers (4-1) at. 16:25 one on Sunday.
