Latest injury news confirms worst-case scenario for 49ers upstart rookie
As feared, Mykel Williams indeed suffered a torn ACL in the Week 9 win over the Giants, meaning the 49ers will lose yet another player for the rest of the season.
Quarterback Brock Purdy appears to be getting closer to a return. In the meantime, backup quarterback Mac Jones has played well enough for the 49ers to win five of the seven games in which he has started with Purdy sidelined with a hyperextended right big toe.
