Episode notes
Mac Jones Likely Starts With Patchwork Receiving Corps
- Brock Purdy's toe and absent receivers make Mac Jones the likely starter on Thursday.
- The available pass catchers (Bourne, MVS, Sky Moore, Gage, Robinson) have more chemistry with Mac Jones than with Purdy.
Rest Hurt Players On Short Weeks
- Avoid playing severely injured players on short weeks, especially on turf.
- Resting Purdy, Pearsall and Juwan Jennings likely protects long-term health even if it weakens Thursday's lineup.
Purdy's Toe Is Wear-Down, Not A Single Tweak
- Purdy's turf toe is cumulative soreness from playing, not one single play.
- Shanahan warned repeated play could prolong the injury across the season.
