Mac Jones<\/a> isn\u2019t exactly buying into the 49ers’ viral practice facility conspiracy … but he’s not completely brushing it off either!<\/p>\n

The San Francisco backup QB talked with TMZ Sports<\/a> about the chatter tying the team\u2019s nearby electrical substation to their injury history … a theory that\u2019s picked up steam online and even sparked quiet locker room curiosity over the years.<\/p>\n

Some have speculated electromagnetic fields from the power station by Levi’s Stadium could be messing with players’ bodies, but there’s been zero scientific proof backing it.<\/p>\n

Jones kept things pretty chill when asked about it … saying he hasn\u2019t personally noticed anything strange since joining the team.<\/p>\n

“I haven’t been there long enough,” Jones said, “but I think there’s something to studying it and at least finding out if it’s good or bad, but I don’t feel any different.”<\/p>\n

He even poked fun at one of the conspiracy’s more out-there claims — that players can supposedly hear electrical buzzing near the facility.<\/p>\n

“I can’t hear the buzz,” he said. “Maybe some of the guys who have been there for a minute, but not me.”<\/p>\n

For those who may be drinking the tea … neither of the Super Bowl teams is practicing at the Niners’ facility.<\/p>\n

Jones also made it clear he\u2019s not exactly a tin-foil-hat kinda guy when it comes to conspiracy theories in general.<\/p>\n

“Honestly, no,” he said. “I’ll entertain them, but I don’t believe any weird ones.”<\/p>\n

While speculation continues to swirl around the Niners — fueled in part by the team’s recent injury stretches — Jones sounds locked in on football, not power grids.<\/p>\n

“I\u2019m happy where I\u2019m at,” he added. “I love the 49ers and I want to keep winning and having fun.”<\/p>\n

Safe to say Mac’s focused on reading defenses … not radiation levels.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Mac Jones I’m Not Buzzing Over Substation Conspiracy Published February 9, 2026 12:30 AM PST Play video content…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":739961,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2080],"tags":[220,7,88,6,1161,252,2624,2623,9,266,4429],"class_list":{"0":"post-739960","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-san-francisco-49ers","8":"tag-49ers","9":"tag-football","10":"tag-news","11":"tag-nfl","12":"tag-san-francisco","13":"tag-san-francisco-49ers","14":"tag-sanfrancisco","15":"tag-sanfrancisco49ers","16":"tag-sports","17":"tag-sports-news","18":"tag-tmz-sports"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/116040079261078120","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/739960","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=739960"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/739960\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/739961"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=739960"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=739960"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=739960"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
