After sitting out for two games, he returned in Week 4 against the Jacksonville Jaguars and suffered a setback. It was serious enough that we haven&#8217;t seen him on the field since then. Luckily for the 49ers, they&#8217;ve received efficient quarterback play from Mac Jones.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p>In seven starts this season, Jones is completing 67.2% of his passes for 1,832 yards with 10 touchdowns and five interceptions. The 49ers are 5-2 when he&#8217;s their starting quarterback.<\/p>\n<p>On Sunday afternoon, Jones will get the start against the Los Angeles Rams. Interestingly enough, Purdy wasn&#8217;t initially ruled out for this NFC West showdown. The 49ers listed him as questionable, which means he&#8217;d have a chance at being the backup quarterback.<\/p>\n<p>If Purdy isn&#8217;t healthy enough to start, why would the 49ers feel comfortable letting him be the backup? After all, he&#8217;d be one play away from entering the game.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p>Since the 49ers are handling this situation in such an odd manner, NFL fans are wondering if Purdy has been quietly benched for Jones.<\/p>\n<figure>\n<div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/ny\/api\/res\/1.2\/OkhKTGMXXHrjq7pemJL4yg--\/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTk2MDtoPTY0MDtjZj13ZWJw\/https:\/\/media.zenfs.com\/en\/the_spun_articles_751\/33ccb47808ffcf95aa05951e4cb20ff8\" alt=\"Brock Purdy, 49ers Quarterback Situation Takes Bizarre Turn\" width=\"960\" height=\"640\" data-nimg=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n<p><dialog aria-label=\"Image Lightbox\" aria-modal=\"true\"><\/dialog><\/div><figcaption>Jun 11, 2025; Santa Clara, CA, USA; San Francisco 49ers quarterbacks Mac Jones (10) and Brock Purdy (13) work on passing drills during a team OTA at Levi&#8217;s Stadium.

Mac Jones has been absolutely sensational in his time. Doing it with people that have been beat up. Stars and perimeter players that haven\u2019t been healthy. He\u2019s been knocked around. Yet this team is somehow, even with all those injuries, is still in the playoff race and it\u2019s because of the quarterback play.
