Big Blow for the 49ers! Brock Purdy Out Again, Mac Jones on a Bonus Mission!

What’s your Reaction?

The San Francisco 49ers just can’t seem to catch a break. Starting quarterback Brock Purdy is still recovering from his turf toe injury — and yes, that means he’s out again! When the 49ers take the field against the Houston Texans this Sunday, it won’t be Purdy under center.

Instead, Mac Jones is stepping up once more — turning from part-time hero to full-time savior for the team. And it’s not just about the game; there’s serious money on the line. If Jones leads the 49ers to a win, he’ll bag another $100,000 incentive bonus!

49ers ruled out Brock Purdy (toe) and Ricky Pearsall (knee) for Sunday’s game at Houston.

But that’s not all. According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, Jones has already earned $400,000 in incentives since taking over for Purdy. Looks like while Purdy’s sitting out with a toe issue, Jones’ bank account is running a touchdown of its own.

Makes you wonder — are the 49ers’ coaches really sad about Purdy’s injury, or are they secretly cheering for Jones’ bonus milestones? Every win equals another $100K smile!

The 49ers kick off against the Texans this Sunday at 1 p.m. ET, and Jones has one mission: win the game, secure the bag. Maybe his playbook should be renamed — “How to Turn Turf Toe Into Cash Flow.”

Let’s see who recovers faster — Purdy’s toe or Jones’ bank balance!
