The New York Giants, who have a long injury list of their own, will not have to face San Francisco 49ers starting quarterback Brock Purdy on Sunday. Mac Jones will start at quarterback for San Francisco.
Purdy has played in only two games this season, the last of which was Week 4, due to a toe injury. He is listed as questionable and will not start.
Per The Athletic, San Francisco coach Kyle Shanahan said Purdy is “not fully healthy” although he could be available in an emergency.
Purdy suffered the injury Week 1 vs. the Seattle Seahawks. He returned in Week 4, but was not comfortable and has not played since.
Jones has started six games for the 49ers this season. They are 4-2 in those games. Jones has completed 65.9% of his passes, throwing eight touchdown passes, five interceptions and compiling a passer rating of 89.0.
The Giants have a number of injuries in their secondary. They will be without two starting cornerbacks on Sunday.
