The San Francisco 49ers are one of the most banged teams in the NFL right now, with a question mark at quarterback every week. The post 49ers Announce QB Starter for Week 9 Game Against Giants appeared first on Heavy Sports.

The San Francisco 49ers face a slew of injuries, including to their starting quarterback, but manage to put together wins anyway. Brock Purdy missed seven games due to a turf toe injury, leaving former first rounder Mac Jones leading the offense for the majority of the season.

Let's be clear: Jones has done decent since he took over as the starter. He is one of the key reasons why the 49ers now have a 6-3 record. His record is now 5-2. But his performance against the Giants represented a massive step up in his game. It came at the perfect time, and the three-win cushion takes some pressure off.

Late in the fourth quarter, first-round pick defensive end Mykel Williams went down with a right knee injury. Afterwards, coach Kyle Shanahan told reporters that they fear Williams injured his ACL. A torn ACL would sideline Williams for the remainder of the season.
