SANTA CLARA \u2014 Brock Purdy might be limited<\/a>, but Mac Jones is even more limited.<\/p>\n

That’s how 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan described the situation regarding the quarterbacks during his appearance Thursday afternoon on KNBR’s “Dirty Work” radio show<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Shanahan expressed cautious optimism that Purdy will return to the starting lineup when the 49ers play the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday at Levi\u2019s Stadium.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI think it\u2019s feeling better each day,\u201d Shanahan said of Purdy. \u201cAnd if that continues, he should be good on Sunday. But hopefully that continues. It\u2019s always delicate with the toe.\u201d<\/p>\n

During the period of practice Thursday that is open to the media, Purdy took the first snaps ahead of Jones.<\/p>\n

Purdy sustained a toe injury in the 49ers\u2019 Week 1 victory at the Seattle Seahawks. He was inactive for the 49ers\u2019 wins against the New Orleans Saints and Arizona Cardinals.<\/p>\n

Jones took over and played well to lead the 49ers to the victories. However, Jones on Sunday aggravated a left knee injury<\/a> that sidelined him late in training camp.<\/p>\n

Jones, like Purdy, was limited in the team\u2019s practices Wednesday and Thursday.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe wasn\u2019t able to do as much as Brock,\u201d Shanahan said of Jones. \u201cBut I think he\u2019s trending in the right direction. We\u2019ll see (Friday). But he hasn\u2019t been able to do much this week. But we have a long time until Sunday, and hopefully he\u2019ll be ready by then.\u201d<\/p>\n
