**Mac Jones to Play Through Injury, But Purdy Still the Man in San Francisco**

**SAN FRANCISCO, CA** – San Francisco 49ers quarterback Mac Jones is expected to play Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, despite being listed as questionable with an oblique injury, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported Saturday night. Wide receiver Jauan Jennings, also listed as questionable with ankle and rib injuries, is also expected to take the field.

Jones, who played through a knee issue last week, suffered the oblique injury at the end of that game against the Rams. He was limited in practice during the week but expressed optimism about his availability.

Despite Jones’ solid performance leading the 49ers to three consecutive victories, starter Brock Purdy remains the team’s primary quarterback, according to Schefter.

“Even with Mac Jones’ impressive play, Brock Purdy is still the 49ers’ primary quarterback,” Schefter told Pat McAfee.

The 49ers are hopeful that Purdy, currently sidelined, could potentially return next week against the Atlanta Falcons. Wide receiver Ricky Pearsall, recovering from a knee injury, is also a possible returnee for that game.
