Mac Jones Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

49ers HC Kyle Shanahan said Monday that QB Brock Purdy is dealing with soreness in the toe he injured earlier this season. Purdy reportedly felt fine during the Week 4 loss to the Jaguars but called Shanahan complaining of soreness on Sunday night. The situation is complicated by the fact that the Niners play the Rams this Thursday night. "Hopefully we'll find out more later today, but any time guys are sore and hurting on a Monday, you usually don't stress too much about it," Shanahan said. "But anytime you have a Thursday game, it's a totally different element. So, I'm concerned with anybody who's not totally healthy at this moment, but we'll have to get more information on that later today to really have a clue of what to speculate." We'll keep you updated on Purdy's status. If he can't play on Thursday night, San Francisco would go back to QB Mac Jones, who's battling his own knee injury.

49ers QB Brock Purdy (toe, left shoulder) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Cardinals. He got in three limited practices this week, so we’re tentatively expecting him back for Week 4. QB Mac Jones gets another start today after throwing for 279 yards and three scores last week.

49ers QB Brock Purdy (toe, left shoulder) remained limited in Thursday's practice, "although he appeared to be doing a bit more than he did previously," according to The Athletic's Vic Tafur. Purdy said afterward that he's happy with the progress he's making and is "day to day." He added, "(I’ve) definitely got to see come game time how I feel. Obviously I want to play every game, dude. … If you ask me, I’d love to (play), but I’m trying to be smart with my body.” We'll see how Purdy's listed on Friday's final injury report and monitor his status leading up to Sunday's game vs. the Cardinals.

49ers QB Brock Purdy (toe, left shoulder) got in a limited practice on Wednesday. HC Kyle Shanahan said afterward that Purdy "has a chance" to play vs. the Cardinals this weekend. We'll keep you updated on his status over the next few days. Purdy would be a shaky Week 3 fantasy bet unless he gets in a full practice on Thursday or Friday. QB Mac Jones was serviceable in relief last week, completing 67% of his passes at 7.2 yards per attempt with 3 TDs and 0 INTs.

A source told ESPN's Adam Schefter that 49ers QB Brock Purdy (toe, shoulder) "progressed a lot this week." The team is still "not optimistic" that Purdy will be able to play Week 3, per Schefter, "but it’s not out of the question." Purdy notably avoided short-term IR, which means the 49ers expect him to miss fewer than four games. We'll keep an eye on his status this coming week. We're tentatively projecting QB Mac Jones to start the Week 3 meeting vs. Arizona, with Purdy the favorite to be back for Week 4.

HC Kyle Shanahan has officially ruled QB Brock Purdy out for San Francisco's Week 2 trip to New Orleans. San Francisco will start Mac Jones in Purdy's place.

49ers QB Brock Purdy (toe, shoulder) is a "long shot" to play vs. the Saints this weekend, HC Kyle Shanahan said Wednesday. Shanahan added that Purdy could be looking at a multi-week absence. SI's Grant Cohn hears that the team is expecting Purdy to miss two games. His absence will leave QB Mac Jones under center.

Niners QB Brock Purdy came away from Sunday's win over the Seahawks with an injury to his left shoulder and a toe injury, according to multiple reports. The toe issue is reportedly more significant than the shoulder. ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that Purdy's "uncertain" for Sunday's game at New Orleans.

The forecast for today's Titans-Jaguars game calls for an 85-95% chance of rain throughout the contest. There's lightning in the area, so we could even see this one delayed for a bit. Winds are expected to come in around 10 mph with gusts of 20-30. That's enough to impact some deep passes and kicks. WRs Calvin Ridley and Brian Thomas and TE Chig Okonwko look a bit riskier with this weather, although they can stay in fantasy lineups in most cases. Try to avoid both kickers in this game.

Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence is being placed on IR after suffering a concussion against the Texans. He would be eligibile to return for Week 18, but he likely will be shut down for the season. LB Azeez Al-Shaair was suspended due to the hit on Lawrence while he was sliding.

Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence (concussion) won't practice Wednesday, HC Doug Pederson said. Lawrence is a long shot to play vs. the Titans this weekend after taking a vicious hit from Texans LB Azeez Al-Shaair last week. That'll leave QB Mac Jones back under center. He struggled in starts against tough Vikings and Lions defenses but played well in relief of Lawrence last week, completing 20 of 32 passes (63%) for 235 yards (7.3 YPA), two TDs, and 0 INTs.

Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence sustained an apparent concussion in the second quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Jaguars. He took a shot to the head at the end of slide and banged his head against the field. This would be Lawrence's second documented concussion. He'll be replaced by QB Mac Jones.

Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence (shoulder) will practice on Monday, HC Doug Pederson said. The team will monitor Lawrence throughout the week before deciding whether he'll play against the Texans on Sunday. We're not sure why Lawrence would push through this injury for the 2-9 Jags, but his return would be good news for the offense. Jacksonville totaled 216 passing yards and 13 points over the last two games with QB Mac Jones.

Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence (shoulder) won't play vs. the Lions this weekend, HC Doug Pederson said Wednesday. Jacksonville gets a Week 12 bye, so perhaps we see Lawrence again in Week 13. But he's reportedly considering season-ending surgery on his injured left shoulder. Lawrence has no reason to rush back to the soon-to-be 2-9 Jags. QB Mac Jones gets another start on Sunday after an ugly Week 10: 111 yards, 0 TDs, and 2 INTs. That came against a tough Vikings defense, but this weekend's matchup against the Lions isn't much easier. Jones isn't a recommended play in any format and makes Jacksonville's skill-position players tough to trust.

Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence (left shoulder) is officially inactive for today’s game vs. the Vikings. It sounds like he’s still deciding whether to have surgery on this shoulder, which would end his season. We’ll keep you updated on Lawrence’s status. QB Mac Jones gets the start today.

ESPN's Adam Schefter confirms that Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence (left shoulder) won't play against the Vikings today.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport hears that Lawrence is dealing with a "significant AC joint sprain" that could eventually require surgery, "though the current plan is for rest and rehab." QB Mac Jones will make his Jaguars debut today.

Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence (left shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Vikings after a limited week of practice. HC Doug Pederson admitted on Friday, though, that Lawrence is unlikely to play. That’ll leave QB Mac Jones at the helm for his first start in almost a year. Jones’ career passing numbers are similar to Lawrence’s, but we’re still considering him a downgrade for Jacksonville’s offense.

Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence is dealing with a left shoulder injury and continuing to get treatment. He has been labeled as day-to-day, but now is unlikely to play this Sunday while options are considered. There appear to be a wide range of outcomes for Lawrence and more missed games could be in his future. Mac Jones would be slated to start if Lawrence can't go.
