"With the 49ers already having made their big decisions the day prior, there were no surprises on their inactive list for Thursday night's game against the Los Angeles Rams at SoFi Stadium. Quarterback Brock Purdy (toe) and wide receivers Ricky Pearsall Jr. (knee) and Jauan Jennings (ribs, knee) were inactive along with running back Jordan James, wide receiver Jordan Watkins (calf), defensive end Robert Beal Jr. (ankle) and linebacker Nick Martin."
"With Pearsall and Jennings active, targets for quarterback Mac Jones will be Demarcus Robinson, Kendrick Bourne, Skyy Moore and Marques Valdes-Scantling. Jones will be starting his third game for the 49ers, with Purdy aggravating his toe injury in Sunday's 26-21 loss to Jacksonville. Sitting Purdy in theory would give him extra time to heal with the 49ers getting the weekend off after playing a Thursday game."
"The 49ers resume play in Week 6 on the road against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, at which time George Kittle (hamstring) will be eligible to come off injured reserve after being injured in the opener. Another potential return to practice although he might need time to get up to speed could be safety Malik Mustapha, who had off-season ACL surgery. Martin, a rookie out of Oklahoma State, is a healthy scratch for the fifth time"
Quarterback Brock Purdy (toe) and wide receivers Ricky Pearsall Jr. (knee) and Jauan Jennings (ribs, knee) were inactive for Thursday night's game against the Los Angeles Rams at SoFi Stadium. Jordan James, Jordan Watkins (calf), Robert Beal Jr. (ankle) and linebacker Nick Martin were also inactive. Mac Jones started his third game for the 49ers with primary receiving targets Demarcus Robinson, Kendrick Bourne, Skyy Moore and Marques Valdes-Scantling. Purdy aggravated his toe injury in the team's loss to Jacksonville and sat to allow extra healing time before a Week 6 road game. George Kittle (hamstring) will be eligible to return in Week 6. Nick Martin remains a healthy scratch despite being a third-round pick, with special teams performance cited as a factor.
